✨ Tekniske specifikationer
The 2016 Grange is a monumental release, marking the 66th consecutive vintage of Australia's most legendary red wine. Born from a spectacular, warm South Australian growing season, this vintage is a masterclass in multi-regional blending, sourcing pristine fruit from the Barossa Valley, McLaren Vale, Clare Valley, and the historic Magill Estate. The blend is dominated by 97% Shiraz, complemented by 3% Cabernet Sauvignon, and matured for 18 months in 100% new American oak hogsheads. The story of Grange is forever tied to winemaker Max Schubert's mid-century rebellion; when ordered by management to cease production in 1957, Schubert secretly hid three vintages in the cellars, ensuring the survival of this national treasure. The 2016 vintage captures this legacy with its profound depth, seamless structure, and signature notes of dark plum, soy, and sweet American oak spices.
🍾 Om vinhuset / producenten
Penfolds blev grundlagt i 1844 af dr. Christopher Rawson Penfold og hans hustru Mary på Magill Estate i South Australia og er i dag et af Australiens ældste og mest ikoniske vinhuse. Ejendommen opnåede legendarisk international anerkendelse i 1950'erne under den visionære chefvinmager Max Schubert, som skabte Penfolds Grange og revolutionerede landets vinfremstilling. Drevet af en berømt filosofi om at blande på tværs af regioner og druesorter udvælger Penfolds enestående druer fra historiske australske terroirs – herunder Barossa Valley, McLaren Vale og Coonawarra – samt fra udvalgte internationale topområder. Vinhuset er verdenskendt for kraftfulde, upåklageligt strukturerede og særdeles lagringsværdige vine anført af flagskibet Grange, Bin 707 Cabernet Sauvignon og den berømmede Bin-serie.
