Australia's greatest wine was developed over the course of a tortuous decade, by a personality who was driven by the consuming aspiration to create... Australia's greatest wine. Much adversity faced Max Schubert, his project was forbidden by Penfolds for a time, due to the expense. Early releases of Grange were disparaged by industry press for its richness and concentration. It has endured to become the new world's most precious red wine, desired as much for its investment value as for its generosity of flavour and long lived endowments.
Grange has maintained its place as Australia's most prestigious red wine for five decades. Today, it is a wine of international renown, as each vintage is eagerly awaited by collectors around the globe. Grange represents a tradition that's totally uncompromising, bypassing the fads and trends of winemaking techniques, maintaining an integrity of style and remaining true to the fundamentals of Grange creator Max Schubert. An assemblage of harvests from Barossa, Valley Clare and the historic, heritage protected Magill Vineyard, established 1844 by Dr Christopher Rawson and Mary Penfold. The finished Grange was matured nineteen months in a selection of completely new American oak hogsheads. Alcohol 14.5%
TASTING NOTES
Impenetrable dark core. An immediate and powerful lift of cola/ soy/ hoisin/ red licorice, propelled by tea smoke and ferric influences. Less obvious nut husk/ tan bark notes align with lush aromas of ripe, jamon wrapped figs and panaforte plushness. With air, blueberry fruits and mocha arise, the oak, 100% new, remaining concealed. A muscular push/ wave/ affront across the entire palate, from start to finish. Never oppressive nor ungainly, yet captivatingly forceful with a self saucing chocolate pudding richness and blackberry, elderberry fruits. Pronounced tannins are unleashed, the Clare component adding to flavour pool and extract. Power and density naturally respectful of balance and structure.
 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»
