Description
Penfolds Grange needs no introduction, having established its reputation as Australia’s most sought after wine over the past 65 years.
A single bottle of the 1980 vintage here, from a reputable cellar.
The palate is elegant with sweet mocha/ cedar/ mint flavours and slinky/ leafy tannins.
It finishes sinewy and dry but long and flavourful.
96% Shiraz 4% Cabernet Sauvignon.
Kalimna Vineyard (Barossa Valley), Barossa Valley, Clare Valley, Magill Estate (Adelaide), McLaren Vale, Coonawarra Blend.
Grange is both Penfolds and Australia’s most famous 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 climate of South Australia.
Penfolds Grange displays fully-ripe, intensely-flavoured and textured Shiraz grapes in combination with new American oak.
The result is a unique Australian style that is now recognised as the most consistent of the world’s great wines.
The Grange style is the original and most powerful expression of Penfolds’ multivineyard, multi-district blending philosophy.
Note – the label is lightly scuffed & soiled.
