Tasting Note

• A rare gem from the Penfolds Special Bottling range.

• The Lot 518 is a unique sweet, fortified wine is made by adding premium Baijiu to fortified Shiraz, giving a wine with complex character.

• Taste: The fortified Shiraz gives rich jammy black fruit and liquorice notes while the Baijiu brings a toasty Umami note to the finish..

• When to drink: Best enjoyed immediately whilst the wine is young and fresh.

• Pairs perfectly with rich foods with plenty of spice like Hot Pot.


Colour: Deep, vibrant cherry red with hints of purple at the rim.

Nose: Aniseed, from the distinctive fortifying spirit, cherry and rich plum fruits from our specially selected shiraz deliver richness, depth and softness.
Perfectly partnering and accentuating the floral, ricey savoury notes of Baijiu.

Palate: The palate will surely surprise and enchant!
A (very) textural, savoury and balanced acidity from the Baijiu is complemented by the rich fruit flavours of the shiraz to create a warming, elongated and intense palate which continues and continues. The aniseed from the distinctive fortifying spirit comes to the fore, balanced by the savoury rich plum, cherry and black fruit characteristics which provide a rounded intensity and length.
