The Penfolds bespoke crystal decanter is more than just a vessel for wine — it's a work of art designed to elevate the experience of enjoying one of the world’s most iconic wines. To mark the release of the 2012 Grange, Penfolds partnered with the renowned French glassmaker Saint-Louis to craft a one-of-a-kind decanter that honors the legacy and prestige of this legendary wine. This collaboration marks a historic moment, as it is the first time Saint-Louis has worked with a global brand outside of Europe.
The decanter, part of the "Penfolds Aevum Imperial Service Ritual," is a stunning six-liter crystal piece that not only enhances the presentation of the 2012 Grange but also reflects the deep respect for tradition and craftsmanship associated with this special bottling. The design balances elegance with functionality, ensuring that the wine reaches its full potential when poured.

In addition to the grand imperial version, a limited edition of smaller, sculpted Penfolds Aevum Crystal Decanters was created for the 750ml 2012 Grange bottles. Each decanter is handcrafted and features the signature diamond-cut design of Saint-Louis, making it a true collector's item.
The concept of a luxurious service ritual is deeply rooted in the culture of Australian winemaking, and this decanter embodies that tradition. It brings a sense of occasion and visual splendor to the act of pouring and serving wine, transforming an everyday moment into something truly memorable.
The Penfolds Collection 2016, which includes the 2012 Grange, is now available globally. According to Treasure Wine Estates, the 2012 Grange offers "layers of allure, plushness, and character" and is described as "stylistically akin to the 1963 Grange, with a contemporary '2012' personality." As noted by Peter Gago, Penfolds Chief Winemaker, the collection can be enjoyed now or potentially over the next four decades and more.
The Penfolds Aevum Imperial Service Ritual is not just about the wine — it's about the experience, the tradition, and the artistry behind every pour. Whether you're a connoisseur or simply appreciate fine craftsmanship, this decanter is a testament to the enduring legacy of Penfolds and the timeless beauty of Saint-Louis crystal.
