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.
The 2006 vintage was a year which produced a spectacular example of Penfolds' renowned dedication to craft. The vintage gave way to lower than average yields due to weather conditions ensuring concentrated and intensely flavoured grapes. These elements combined in perfect synchronicity, allowing the creation of a Penfolds masterpiece.
This is a great Grange, one that will age gracefully over the next thirty years, and probably beyond...
