*We offer Free Shipping over $300! (Excl. NT)
Penfolds Grange, first crafted by Max Schubert in 1951, stands as the most famous and collectible Australian wine, consistently rated ¡°Exceptional¡± on Langton¡¯s Classification. It is renowned for its concentration, longevity, and iconic multi-regional blending philosophy, combining Shiraz (with a touch of Cabernet Sauvignon) from South Australia¡¯s best vineyards.
Vineyard
The 2003 Grange was sourced from Penfolds¡¯ finest vineyards across the Barossa Valley, McLaren Vale, Clare Valley, and Magill Estate. Its hallmark depth and complexity arise from blending old-vine Shiraz parcels with a small portion of Cabernet Sauvignon, all matured in new American oak hogsheads for 18 months.
Vintage
2003 was a warm, dry vintage in South Australia, with reduced yields leading to concentrated fruit. While conditions were challenging in some regions, rigorous vineyard selection ensured outstanding quality for Grange, producing a wine of power and structure, true to its lineage.
Tasting Notes
The 2003 Grange pours deep garnet with purple hues. The bouquet is rich and complex, with blackberry, plum, and mulberry layered over mocha, liquorice, vanilla, and smoky oak. The palate is dense and full-bodied, brimming with ripe dark fruit, chocolate, anise, and roasted coffee. Firm tannins and integrated oak provide backbone, while savoury spice and earthiness linger through a long, commanding finish. This vintage offers classic Grange opulence with strong aging potential.
