The estate and the wine
The estate and the wine Penfolds is an incredible success story! The estate owes its worldwide fame to its iconic wine: Grange. This extraordinary wine has a unique style, class and depth without any equivalent on the continent, but its influence goes far beyond the Australian lands: it is on a par with the greatest wines of the planet, unanimously acclaimed by critics worldwide.
Wine Rated 99/100 by Parker, the 2016 Red Southern Australia Grange is an impressive and sculptural wine. True to the style that forged its legend, aged 100% in new American barrels, it develops intense youthful flavors of cedar, vanilla, coconut and black fruits. Magnificently concentrated, the palate takes up this toasted and fruity tone, with silky tannins, a nice freshness and a long finish. Its potential is of course phenomenal, the question is just to know if you will enjoy it more after 30 or 40 years…!
Vinification Hand harvested, fermented and aged in new American oak barrels.
