Penfolds Grange Shiraz Reserve 2019 750ml +14% ABV

The 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 with fully-ripe, intensely-flavored and structured shiraz grapes, the result is a uniquely Australian style that is now recognized as one of the most consistent among the world’s great wines. Since its first experimental 1951 vintage, Grange has clearly demonstrated the synergy between shiraz and South Australia's soils and climates.

Deep plush garnet throughout – from core to rim. Savoury, not fruity. Tastes/flavors remind of slow cooked beef ragout, chicken liver game terrine. Red liquorice also apparent. Integrated oak – spicy, almost ‘non-American’ oak … but it is. As it always is. A core of 100% new Quercus alba. Poised yet powerful. A balanced, tightly-knit and woven structural ‘tapestry’. Not to be constrained by dimension or frame.
