The Penfolds Collection, Year by Year
Each July, in the days before the annual Penfolds Collection is released, I taste the wines and read the paperwork. This page gathers that coverage in one place – a year-by-year record of what Penfolds released, what it charged, and what quietly changed.
The chart below tracks the Australian recommended retail of every wine in the Collection across six releases. Switch on the Indexed tab to see the movements in percentage terms; it gives a clearer picture than the dollar figures alone.

The Penfolds Collection, by the dollar
Australian recommended retail (750ml) for every wine, across six annual Collection releases. Switch to Indexed to compare how far each price has moved in percentage terms, whatever its starting point.
How to read it. Each point is a Collection release, not a vintage year — the wine in each release is roughly four years older than the label on the chart. A gap means the wine skipped that year's Collection. Source: Penfolds Collection media releases, 2021–2026. 2021 was the Australia-only Collection, so the imported wines begin in 2022 or later.
2026
The year nobody got a price rise. Not one wine in the 2026 Collection went up – a first across the six years covered here. Grange 2022 arrived carrying 75th-anniversary billing and the same A$1000 it has asked for five releases running. There's a new proprietary bottle rolling out over three years, and the single-vineyard Oakville is back after a year away. [Penfolds Collection 2026: Ten Things You Should Know]
2025
A Grange price freeze four vintages running, the inaugural FWT 543 – Penfolds' first French cabernet-shiraz blend – and Peter Gago on cork's comeback. RWT Bin 798 and Magill Estate were the only Australian wines to move on price. [10 Things About the Penfolds Collection 2025]
2024
Penfolds' 180th anniversary, marked with the commemorative Bin 180 Coonawarra Cabernet Shiraz at $1180 a bottle. Behind the celebration, this was the year prices moved across the Australian range. The analysis went wider than the wines: Grange on the most consistent run in its history, St Henri as the Betamax of the range, and a company that no longer throws its customers a bone.
