Penfolds Grange

About this wine

Australia's most celebrated wine, Penfolds Grange is a multi-district blend anchored by Barossa Shiraz. Created by Max Schubert in 1951 against strong opposition, it is now considered the archetypal Australian red — an annual statement of power, texture, and remarkable longevity.

Tasting notes

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.
