About 1959 Penfolds Grange Syrah

About the Winery Penfolds

For over 160 years Penfolds has been a producer of remarkable wines.

Through their obsession with quality and their commitment to producing fine wine, a tradition has evolved which has had a profound influence on the entire Australian industry and is recognised worldwide.

Penfolds is able to source quality fruit from a diverse range of vineyard sites, including some of the best and oldest vineyards in South Australia.

This provides a tremendous resource which allows their Winemakers to achieve a remarkable consistency of style and quality across the entire portfolio.

Futhermore, the Penfolds Winemakers are custodians of a great tradition of innovation: pioneering the understanding of the chemistry of wine; developing and refining the concept of multi-regional blending; and producing an incredible list of Special Bins and experimental wines.

This tradition continues today with the development of new regions, the pioneering of new grape varieties and the refinement of both modern and classical winemaking techniques.

From the development of the iconic Penfolds Grange in the 1950s, the creation of the red wine portfolio in the 1960s through to today's Winemaking Trials, Penfolds distinct philosophy and integrity has resulted in international acclaim for both its winemakers and wines.

About the Wine
"The 1998 vintage is predominantly Shiraz (97%) with a small amount of Cabernet Sauvignon (3%)...Sourced primarily from the Penfolds Kalimna Vineyard and other Barossa Vineyards, with proportions from Padthaway and Magill Estate...Cool spring weather followed by a warm summer and very low rainfall created one of the classic vintages of the last two decades. Fruit quality was outstanding with incredible intensity of flavour, fine tannins and structure. The 1998 vintage of Penfolds Grange may rank amongst the very finest released...The nose is youthful and intense with dark, ripened Satsuma plum fruits rising above a base of liqueured dark chocolate and licorice. Overtones of malt, toasty barrel ferment and nutty oak meld effortlessly into an exquisitely aromatic offering...The palate displays intense layering of fruit - raspberry,blackcurrant and blackberry - laced with licorice and oak.The power of the fruit at the fore is balanced with ripe velvety tannins, offering an alluring even-textured palate with remarkable length."
