Description

A WORTHY FOLLOW-ON TO ITS 100-POINT-LADEN 2018 PREDECESSOR.

– PETER GAGO, PENFOLDS CHIEF WINEMAKER

Overview:

Ring in the Year of the Dragon with one of the world’s most celebrated wines. The first commercial release of Grange coincided with the Year of the Dragon, bringing a unique sentiment to this release. Continuing an unbroken lineage from the very first experimental release, the 2019 Grange is full-bodied, powerful, and perfectly balanced – a gift that is sure to be treasured for years to come.

Since the first experimental vintages, the mandate for Grange has remained the same – to craft Australia’s greatest red wine from the best shiraz fruit of the vintage. This ambition drives its impeccable consistency, with each release revealing subtle distinctions. 2019 Grange has been likened by the Penfolds winemaking team to those originally crafted by Max Schubert. It has also been posited as a decennial sequence – set to follow in the footsteps of the now highly revered 2009, 1999 and 1989 vintages. Each a wine of power, precision and immense cellaring capability. 2019 – bounding in its youth, with decades still to unravel.
