Unwavering conviction rewarded: the inspiring story of Grange

Conceived in 1951 by Penfolds’ visionary winemaker, Max Schubert, following a trip to France, Grange was born of a bold ambition: to craft an Australian wine with the ageing potential to rival the great wines of Bordeaux.

Initially dismissed by Penfolds’ own board, Schubert pursued his vision in secret, quietly perfecting his creation until early vintages began to be recognised for their extraordinary potential. His unwavering dedication laid the foundation for a legend.

Today, Grange stands as a Heritage Icon of South Australia and is considered one of the world’s most sought-after wines, with early vintages commanding six-figure sums at auctions across the globe.

Described as "a masterful piece that displays its power and class with grace" the 2021 vintage is crafted from 94% Shiraz and 6% Cabernet Sauvignon and matured in new American oak for 18 months. A symphony of black fruits, dark chocolate, aniseed, and even notes of graphite, this is a wine with a structure built to evolve beautifully over the next 50 years; a wine that will reward patience, promising to become even more extraordinary with time.

Whether gifting or rewarding yourself this festive season, a case of the 2021 Grange is a timeless investment, ensuring that celebrations for decades to come are marked with distinction and delight. 

Penfolds Grange is available at retailers including Harrods, Hedonism Wines, Berry Bros & Rudd, and Hackstons. For more information, see penfolds.com
