The domain
Created in 1844 by Christopher Rawson Penfolds, the Penfolds estate built a fine reputation from 1900 thanks to its powerful red wines. The brand will be the first to opt for aging in French oak barrels and to develop inter-vineyard and multi-region blends. Over the years, this Australian winery has become one of the most important in its country, while maintaining its goal of producing wines of the highest possible quality. More than a unique, quality bottle, Penfolds offers its consumers a unique and obviously extraordinary sensory and individual experience.
The original and most powerful expression of Penfolds' multi-vineyard, multi-district blending philosophy, Grange is arguably Australia's most famous wine and is officially included in the World's Icons list. heritage of South Australia. Made from fully ripe, intensely aromatic and structured Shiraz grapes, the result is a unique Australian style that is today recognized as one of the most consistent among the world's great wines. With an unbroken string of vintages since the 1951 experiment, Grange clearly demonstrates the synergy between Shiraz and the soils and climates of South Australia.
