I met Peter Gago, chief winemaker at Penfolds since 2002, during Vinexpo 2017 in Bordeaux, France. The fi rst thing that struck me about him was his self-effacing humility.
For a man who had been recently appointed as a Companion of the Order of Australia (AC) for service to the wine industry, Gago came across as someone who wore his success lightly.
