Full-bodied, ripe and almost decadently creamy in the mouth, it's loaded with substance, concentrated and rich, yet—in the context of Grange—relatively light and elegant-seeming on the finish. Only the seventh-ever Grange to be exclusively Shiraz, it originates from Barossa Valley (86%) and McLaren Vale (14%); Shiraz from other growing regions in South Australia failed to make the grade this year.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVinous, July 2021 - 97P:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOpaque, bright-rimmed ruby.

He crafted his first experimental Grange Hermitage in 1951 – named after ‘Grange Cottage’, the first Australian home of our founders, Dr Christopher and Mary Penfold. This wine began a new way of thinking that would eventually lead to a signature wine style, but not before Grange was discredited by the Penfolds board, forcing Max Schubert to continue making the wine in secrecy. It wasn’t until 1960 that the board recognised the value of quality aged red wines with Grange triumphantly reinstated.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe timeless appeal of Grange resides in its unwavering commitment to an unchanged style, from experimental vintages to the present. Grange is memorable for its aromatic complexity, intensely rich fruit, ripe tannins of \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.penfolds.com\/en-au\/wines\/varietals\/shiraz\"\u003eshiraz\u003c\/a\u003e and nuanced American oak. Partial barrel fermentation and 18 to 20 months of oak maturation enhance these qualities, while further ageing in the bottle allows the wine to evolve, with tannins softening and complexity building. With an unbroken line of vintages since 1951, this iconic red wine demonstrates the synergy between shiraz and the soils and climates of South Australia.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePenfolds Grange has been awarded over 30 perfect scores from top wine critics around the world, including 100 points from both Wine Spectator and Robert Parker's Wine Advocate for the 2008 vintage and eight perfect scores for the 2018 vintage.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Penfolds","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50467106816266,"sku":"CEW536","price":4500.0,"currency_code":"DKK","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0706\/9273\/3194\/files\/GrangeII_bdf54d20-d4cc-494f-bfc0-f949a252c0bf.png?v=1734542550","url":"https:\/\/carlwandel.shop\/products\/2017-penfolds-grange-bin-95","provider":"Carl Wandel \u0026 Søn","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
