ABOUT THIS WINE
Penfolds Grange, officially Bin 95, is a celebrated Australian red wine produced by Penfolds. Its creation in the 1950s by Max Schubert aimed to establish an Australian wine of world-class stature, inspired by Bordeaux. Grange is distinguished by its multi-regional blending philosophy, drawing fruit from premium vineyards across South Australia, including the Barossa Valley, McLaren Vale, Coonawarra, and Clare Valley. This approach allows for the selection of the best Shiraz and Cabernet Sauvignon from each vintage to create a wine of consistent style and remarkable aging potential. The 2019 vintage was characterized by a hot and dry growing season, resulting in lower yields but fruit of high quality with concentrated flavors and firm tannins.

WINE MAKING PROCESS
Penfolds Grange is produced using classic red vinification methods. A key technique is its multi-regional blending philosophy, where fruit is sourced from various premium vineyards across South Australia, including the Barossa Valley, McLaren Vale, Coonawarra, and Clare Valley. Following fermentation, the wine is aged for 19 months in 100% new American oak hogsheads. The 2019 vintage was characterized by a hot and dry growing season, which resulted in lower yields but produced fruit of high quality with concentrated flavors and firm tannins, contributing to the wine's powerful structure.
