Winemaking is an art and sometimes, it takes an artist's deft hand to remind us of that. We unveil the Penfolds 65F by NIGO, a limited-edition drop that comprises nearly 200 years of winemaking tradition.

Since their creative partnership in 2023, NIGO has pushed the envelope of what a wine brand can be: One by Penfolds. Grange by NIGO. Holiday Designed by NIGO and now, 65F by NIGO will mark the final chapter of a partnership that has blurred the lines between fashion, art, and wine.

Kristy Keyte, Penfolds’ Chief Marketing Officer, sees great benefits to the collaboration. "Our partnership with NIGO has allowed Penfolds to venture into the next frontier of cultural significance. Working with him over the past two years has pushed us creatively and opened significant opportunities for Penfolds. NIGO and his team will always be a part of Penfolds’ family and DNA, and we look forward to watching and supporting NIGO’s work into the future.

If you’ve ever been to Penfolds’ Magill Estate in South Australia, you’ll be greeted with a towering red and white chimney. This structure has stood proud for almost a century, a quiet but steadfast witness to the house’s legacy. Climbing at 65 feet, this was the icon that inspired NIGO’s design for this bottle.

Digging into Penfolds' archives, NIGO resurfaced with relics of the past that contributed to the 65F: pressed bottle labels from the ’30s to ’50s; early 20th-century typography; the chalkboards once used in the original Magill Estate winery. And with a bottle that's wrapped in nostalgia, it is topped off with a chimney-smoke wine stopper because... why not?

This isn’t just another pretty bottle. Inside is a serious wine: a 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Shiraz blend that was matured in 100 per cent French oak barriques. The result is a wine that hits with a depth of flavour.

Penfolds 65F by NIGO Cabernet Sauvignon Shiraz 2021 (750ml) will retail at SGD365 and will be available at 1855 Bottle Shop and Le Rouge on 11 April 2025. For more info, click here.
