Penfolds Grange 2021

Grange stands as the most powerful expression of Penfolds multi-vineyard, multi-regional blending philosophy and is officially listed as a Heritage Icon of South Australia. Crafted from fully ripe, intensely flavoured Shiraz, it delivers a unique Australian style acclaimed among the world’s greatest wines. With an unbroken line of vintages since the experimental 1951, each release demonstrates the enduring synergy between Shiraz and the soils and climates of South Australia, extending the vision and unwavering conviction of its creator, Max Schubert.

The 2021 vintage is immediately recognisable as Grange. Expansive, bouyant and complex – it unleashes a pure symphony of dark fruit and spice with sleek, dusty tannins and a formidable stature promising remarkable longevity.

Additional details

Nose:

Initially scents of grated dark chocolate and Copha revealed – propelled by tell-tale V.A. and formics coupled with barrel-ferment nuances. Then an elution of marbled meats, beef fat, and marrow. Pan juices follow, laced with a balsamic glaze, soy and spice (poppy/ sesame seed mix, frankincense).

Palate:

A vortex of mid-palate sumptuousness, framed by sleek, dusty tannins, and chocolatey/brûléed-suggestive oak. Less blurred are the Clare Valley sourcing descriptor giveaways – Dutch liquorice and menthol. Maybe, from Barossa – soaked dark satsuma plum, star anise, and roast quince

Varietal Composition:

Shiraz (94%) and Cabernet Sauvignon (6%)
