Penfolds Puts the Corks Back in for Anniversary Tour

The Australian icon’s chief winemaker talks about recorking and the quest for the perfect closure. Penfolds marks the 25th anniversary of its celebrated re-corking clinics with a world tour this autumn. The Treasury-owned South Australian winery has run the service since 1991. Owners of Penfolds wines more than 15 years old may bring them for assessment: tasting, topping up, re-corking, certifying and logging on a central database.
