Penfolds 1956 Grange is extremely rare - a curio and valuable collector's item. Well cellared bottles may show fully developed fruit and lacy tannins but most are past their best. A lighter Grange which spent less time (about nine months) in oak and was bottled early. Bottles labelled Bin numbers 14 and 53. The 1956 included a small amount (4 per cent) of Cabernet Sauvignon. From humble beginnings in the 1950s, Grange has maintained it's place as Australia's most prestigious red wine, and one of history's most unique.
Penfolds Grange Hermitage was Max Schubert's everlasting contribution to the Australian wine industry. Through adversity and technological limitations, Max endeavoured to create the ultimate Cuvee, and to establish a heritage of great Australian vintages. From fruit grown at the Magill Estate and Morphett Vale in the Adelaide Hills, and Kalimna Vineyard in the Barossa Valley. A cooler than average growing season was followed by cool to mild conditions at vintage. Maturation for nine months in American oak hogsheads. Alcohol 13.0% pH 3.7
TASTING NOTES
Penfolds Grange is a wine of extraordinary dimension and power. Richly textured, intensely concentrated and packed with fruit sweetness, these wines, regardless of vintage, require medium to long-term cellaring. Initially bold and syrup-like in their depth of robust fruit intensity, they develop into immensely complex, beguiling wines that seduce the senses. An Australian icon, Grange represents a tradition in winemaking that is totally uncompromising. Winemaker comments by Max Schubert: Medium brick red. Aromatic leathery/o ld parchment/ mocha nose. The palate is medium concentrated with leather/ mocha/ dark chocolate flavours and sweet lacy tanins. Finishes quite firm and acidic.
 Penfolds
Penfolds was founded by a young English doctor who migrated to one of his country's most distant colonies a century and a half ago
Dr Christopher Rawson Penfold was born in 1811, the youngest of 11 children. He studied medicine at St Bartholomew's Hospital, London, graduating in 1838. Like many doctors before and since, Dr Penfold had a firm belief in the medicinal value of wine. Before he left Britain he had obtained vine cuttings from the south of France and these were planted around the site of the modest stone cottage he built with his wife, Mary, at Magill on the outskirts of Adelaide in 1845. The couple called this house The Grange, after Mary's home in England. Penfolds»
