Grange Bin 95

Grange (originally 'Grange Hermitage') was developed by Penfolds chief winemaker Max Schubert after a 1950 study trip to Bordeaux, where he set out to build an Australian wine capable of aging at least twenty years using Shiraz instead of Cabernet. It is

predominantly Shiraz, typically with a small amount of Cabernet Sauvignon, sourced from multiple South Australian regions (Barossa Valley, McLaren Vale, Magill) rather than a single vineyard, using partial barrel fermentation and 18-20 months of new American oak maturation.

The style is dense and powerful: intensely rich dark fruit, chocolate, coffee and oak spice over ripe tannins and full body, built to soften and gain complexity over decades of cellaring.
