Blackberry, blueberry, spice and dark chocolate aromas. Full body, deep and powerful. Just a baby. Layered. Goes on for minutes. Drink or hold.

Showcases the stately, confident and sure-footed character of Grange, delivering purity, power and depth, palma violets, liquorice, silky tannins, intense and concentrated, with crushed leaf, earth, pencil lead and crème...

Wine Spectator, January 1997

Magnificent exotic a veritable cascade of opulent flavors--earthy currant black cherry and licorice--on a grand frame of incredible length wrapped in finely grained tannins. Feels like it can age through 2010 or 2020 at...

James Halliday, December 1995

Destined to be one of the greatest Granges. A beautifully weighted and concentrated bouquet, with seamless fruit and oak; masses of dark cherries and plum. In the mouth a superb wine; while the fruit is opulent, it is not...

The original and most powerful expression of Penfolds multi-vineyard, multi-district blending philosophy, Grange is arguably Australia’s most celebrated wine and is officially listed as a Heritage Icon of South Australia.

With an unbroken line of vintages from the experimental 1951, Grange clearly demonstrates the synergy between Shiraz and the soils and climates of South Australia.
