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.

Founded in 1844 by Dr. Christopher and Mary Penfold at Magill Estate near Adelaide, Penfolds is one of Australia's oldest and most iconic wineries, now headquartered in Nuriootpa, South Australia. The estate is celebrated for pioneering a unique house style centered on multi-regional and multi-vineyard blending, a philosophy perfected by legendary winemaker Max Schubert in the mid-20th century. Penfolds is globally renowned for its robust, structured red wines aged in premium oak, most notably its flagship Grange—a rich, collectible Shiraz-based blend—alongside acclaimed expressions like Bin 389 Cabernet Shiraz and Bin 707 Cabernet Sauvignon. Today, while maintaining its deep South Australian roots, the producer has expanded its winemaking footprint to include exceptional terroirs in California, Bordeaux, and beyond.
