Who created Penfolds Grange?
Penfolds Grange was created by chief winemaker Max Schubert, who produced the first experimental vintage in 1951 after studying winemaking in Bordeaux following World War II. Schubert persisted in making Grange even after Penfolds management ordered him to stop in the late 1950s, eventually proving the wine's extraordinary aging potential.
Where is Penfolds Grange produced?
Penfolds Grange is produced in South Australia, using Shiraz grapes sourced from select vineyards across regions including the Barossa Valley, McLaren Vale, and Magill Estate near Adelaide. The multi-regional blending approach is a distinctive hallmark of the Grange production philosophy.
What does Penfolds Grange taste like?
Grange is known for its full body, concentrated dark fruit flavors, and notes of dark chocolate and spice, developed through approximately 18 months of maturation in new American oak barrels. The wine is built for long-term cellaring and can evolve for decades in the bottle.
