Mary Penfold (1820-1896)
South Australian Wine Grower
Not long after settling in Adelaide, Mary Penfold wrote these three simple but words in her day book. That brief entry could not foretell the importance of the contribution she was to make over the next 40 odd years to Australia’s young wine industry. Mary’s management of the Magill Estate and her skills in viticulture and blending led ultimately to the development of Penfolds Wines, one of Australia’s greatest wineries.
