*Penfolds Re-Corking Clinic 2018

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. Crafted utilising fully-ripe, intensely-flavoured and structured shiraz grapes, the result is a unique Australian style that is now recognised as one of the most consistent of the world’s great wines. 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. This release in 2021 commemorates the 70th anniversary since Grange was first made.

Blend: 94% Syrah & 6% Cabernet Sauvignon

Vineyard Notes: Barossa Valley (including Kalimna Vineyard), Magill Estate (Adelaide), Modbury Vineyard.

Vintage Notes: This vintage was seriously affected by the 1982 drought, less by the devastating Ash Wednesday bushfires and March flooding. Summer rainfall was a little more than half the average, following by record rains in March.

Ageing: Matured in new American oak hogsheads for 20 months.

Producer Tasting Notes
COLOUR Very deep black cherry red. NOSE Dense, powerful dark chocolate/spice/plum/briar and mint aromas with some oak-derived coconut. PALATE A highly concentrated wine showing pronounced extract and tannins balanced with sweet plummy fruit and showing some 'cigar box' characters.
