Penfolds Grange® Shiraz is a dry and earthy red wine that mimics the heartiness of the Australian people. The second-largest acreage dedicated to growing the grape for shiraz wine is in Australia. In 1951, Max Schubert decided to grow the shiraz grape and introduced shiraz to Australia. Thus, Penfolds Grange red wine was born.
Heady flavors of rich, fruity berries and chocolate notes hit the taste buds first. Spices follow shortly after for a full-bodied, spicy shiraz red wine. This New World shiraz pairs well with a variety of foods, especially those with bold flavors.
Grange is arguably Australia’s most celebrated wine and is officially listed as a Heritage Icon of South Australia. Grange boasts an unbroken line of vintages from the experimental 1951 and clearly demonstrates the synergy between Shiraz and the soils and climates of South Australia. Penfolds Grange utilises fully-ripe, intensely-flavoured and textured 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. The Grange style is the original and most powerful expression of Penfolds multi-vineyard, multi-district, blending philosophy.
