FOR ITS SYMPHONY of Speed event, intended to showcase the cream of its production car crop, Bentley chose the setting of South Australia. The Australian state is famous for, among other things, its half-hour time zone, grand vistas and vineyards. The last includes Penfolds, one of the most famous names in Australian wine and Bentley's partner for the event's welcome dinner. Penfolds is a brand that Bentley finds kinship with; it was founded in South Australia by a British couple in 1844, some 75 years before WO Bentley would start his own firm. The two brands have stood the test of time on the strength of their renowned craftsmanship.
