✨ Technical Specifications
Penfolds Grange is the undisputed icon of Australian wine, born from the visionary ambition of winemaker Max Schubert in the early 1950s. Inspired by his trip to Bordeaux, Schubert sought to create a red wine capable of aging for decades. Initially rejected by the Penfolds board, who ordered him to cease production, Schubert secretly continued crafting Grange in the depths of the Magill Estate cellars. When these hidden vintages were finally re-evaluated years later, they were recognized as masterpieces, prompting the board to officially restart production. Grange is defined by its multi-vineyard, multi-regional blending philosophy, sourcing the finest Shiraz from regions like the Barossa Valley, McLaren Vale, and Magill Estate. It is matured for 18 to 20 months in 100% new American oak hogsheads, resulting in a monumental, deeply concentrated wine with immense structure, dark fruit complexity, and legendary longevity.
🍾 About the Producer
Established in 1844 by Dr. Christopher and Mary Penfold at Magill Estate in the Mount Lofty foothills, Penfolds represents one of the foundational cornerstones of Australian fine wine. Over nearly two centuries, the house evolved from crafting fortified tonics to pioneering modern multi-regional and multi-vineyard blending across South Australia's premier terroirs, including the Barossa Valley, McLaren Vale, and Coonawarra. Soils span from rich terra rossa over limestone to weathered ironstone and alluvial clays under warm Mediterranean climates tempered by maritime breezes. Under the long-term stewardship of Chief Winemaker Peter Gago, the house adheres to Sustainable Winegrowing Australia standards while preserving an unmistakable house style defined by meticulous fruit classification, submerged-cap fermentation, and structured maturation in American and French oak hogsheads. Benchmark bottlings such as Grange (Bin 95), Bin 707 Cabernet Sauvignon, Bin 389 Cabernet Shiraz, and Yattarna Chardonnay define the apex of collectible New World viticulture.
