Barossa Valley

South Australia's Barossa Valley is the heartland of Australian Shiraz, home to some of the world's oldest vines — centenarian dry-grown bush vines that produce wines of extraordinary concentration and complexity.

Climate

Hot, dry Mediterranean. Old vines produce naturally low yields and intense flavors.

Penfolds Grange

Penfolds · 2019 · Shiraz

Dense, impenetrable garnet in the glass. The nose opens with a cascade of dark plum, mulberry, and blackcurrant before cedar, dark chocolate, and fresh-ground coffee emerge. The palate is enormous in scale yet perfectly poised — ripe tannins coat the mouth like velvet, while the acidity keeps everything in electric tension. The finish is measured in minutes.
