Description
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.
Penfolds Bin 95 Grange Shiraz 1988 vintage has a deep plum-red in colour with youthful purple hues.
The nose has a complex bouquet featuring opulent, ripe Shiraz berry fruit characters, ranging from soft, earthy nuances through to spice, cherry and plum fragrances, combined with traditional new barrel fermentation characters and vanillin American oak complexity.
This is a full bodied, richly flavoured and complex wine, exemplifying the uniqueness of Grange Hermitage.
