✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Penfolds Grange is Australia's most celebrated and historic wine, born from the visionary ambition of winemaker Max Schubert in 1951. Inspired by his trip to Bordeaux, Schubert sought to create a red wine capable of aging for decades. When early vintages were poorly received by management, he was ordered to shut down the project, but Schubert famously hid the barrels in the depths of the Magill Estate cellars, continuing his work in secret. Re-evaluated years later, the wine was recognized as a masterpiece. Grange is characterized by its powerful multi-regional South Australian blending philosophy, drawing the finest Shiraz grapes from regions like the Barossa Valley and McLaren Vale, typically seasoned with a touch of Cabernet Sauvignon. It is matured for 18 to 20 months in 100% new American oak hogsheads, resulting in an incredibly concentrated, structured, and complex wine with notes of dark fruit, sweet spices, and savory leather.
🍾 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.
