Penfolds Grange
Directions
The most powerful expression of our multi-vineyard, multi-district blending philosophy, Grange is one of the world's most celebrated wines.
Our 2017 vintage, commemorates the 70th anniversary since Grange was first made.
With an unbroken line of vintages from the experimental 1951, Grange clearly demonstrates the synergy between shiraz and the soils and climates of South Australia.
Bin 95 Grange Shiraz highlights a unique ambition and spirit of progress in the modern history of Australian wine.
The journey begins in 1950, when Max Schubert returned from a trip to Europe inspired to make, in his view, a great Australian Claret: a full-bodied and well-balanced wine capable of staying alive for a minimum of 20 years.
The Grange style and winemaking techniques have not altered since the first experimental vintages. Grange is memorable for its aromatic complexity, intensely rich fruit, ripe tannins of shiraz and the complementary nuances of new, fine-grained American oak.
After 70 vintages, it is renowned by collectors for its unique Australian identity, marvellous consistency and proven aging potential. Grange is the defining modern Australian wine, comparable to the great First Growth wines of Bordeaux.
All winemakers should possess a good fertile imagination if they are to be successful in their craft.
