Penfolds is Australia's oldest and most iconic winery with a history and legacy that reflects the country's journey from colonial settlement to the modern era. The winery was founded in 1844 by Dr. Christopher Rawson Penfold who, together with his wife, emigrated from England to South Australia to plant his vines obtained from France at Magill Estate. The reason for this was not to make the best wine in Australia, but to find a cure for anemia. Christopher believed in the medicinal properties of wine and used this in his GP practice which was growing in reputation.
The Australian wine industry, and therefore Penfolds, changed dramatically with the arrival of winemaker Max Schubert who created world famous Grange and Bin wines. In 1988 Max Schubert was named 'Man of the year' by Decanter Magazine and Penfolds Grange 1955 is now listed as a national heritage site. Penfolds has an extraordinary collection of awards and with each generation of winemakers, Max Schubert's remarkable vision is nurtured and strengthened. Today, Peter Gago is the 'Guardian of the Grange' and sets the standard for all Penfolds wines. It was even named 'Most Admired Wine Brand' by Drinks International in early 2019 and many more awards are likely to follow
Since the first experimental vintages, the mandate for Grange has remained the same: to make Australia's best red wine from the best shiraz fruit of the vintage. This ambition drives its impeccable consistency, with each release revealing subtle differences. Made from fully ripe, intensely flavored and structured shiraz grapes, Grange is recognized as one of the most consistent of the world's finest wines. Discover a pure symphony of fruit with the 2019 vintage. Full, powerful and balanced. The Penfolds Grange is distributed via the Place du Bordeaux where only officially registered wine merchants can purchase such as Grandcru wines.

| Sommy Pairing Beschrijving | De 2019 Penfolds Grange toont een concentratie van zwarte bessen en bramen, donkere chocola en espressotonen, omlijst door geroosterde kokos-vanille van nieuw Amerikaans eiken en stevige, rijpe tannines die een lange, majestueuze afdronk geven. Door die diepe, krachtige fruitexpressie en strakke tannines vormt hij een perfecte tegenhanger voor rijk en ziltig rood vlees zoals geroosterd rundvlees, langzaam gegaard lam, krachtig wild en barbecuestukken; de tannines snijden door het vet en de geroosterde houttonen sluiten mooi aan op rokerige en gekruide sappen. Kies bij voorkeur voor krachtige bereidingswijzen zoals dry-aged entrecôte of côte de boeuf op het vuur, langzaam gegaarde lamsbout met kruiden of gerookte wildgerechten en gegrilde of low-and-slow bereide barbecue om de complexiteit van de wijn maximaal te laten schitteren. |

The 2019 Grange is 97% Shiraz and 3% Cabernet Sauvignon. It's the pinnacle of the Penfolds release (although if you ask me, the Chardonnays are my favorite part) and a wine that takes some understanding prior to scoring. The key to Grange is the old wines; it is a style of wine heavily fortified with oak (100% new, AP Johns American oak), tannin, fruit (multi-regional) and everything else. In the mouth it can be an almost impossible constellation of flavor and texture to wrap the mind around. But in time, yes, in time, this wine shows its capacity for grace and majesty. Ten years is too young to open a bottle. 20 years is about right. 30 and beyond, not a problem. It is a cellaring proposition of the highest order, but in youth it can feel impenetrable. So, this wine in front of me now has toasted coconut, dusted licorice, roasted meat, violets, burnt toffee, pastrami, coffee grounds, crushed ants/formic, roasted pecans ... all of these dark and broody (and chunky) things. 2019 was a hot year and one marred by low yields due to some inclement weather during flowering. This has meant that, as a whole, the wines have felt big, dark and compressed. This is no exception. It's a product of the year and the state from whence it has come and in the mold and style of Grange, typical. It will be even better. For now, ne touche pas. 14.5% alcohol sealed under natural cork.

From: Penfolds Collection 2023 (Jul 2023)
The bold, expansive 2019 Grange (97% Shiraz, 3% Cabernet Sauvignon) spent 19 months in larger new American Oak and is powerful and expressive as it delivers a dense core of coca, blackberry and baked terracotta aromas, all well backed by toasted coconut oak. Mouth-filing, expansive and seriously tannic, it then delivers waves of dark berry flavor laced with touches of spice, leading to a rich, muscular finish. It’s built for the long haul, so don’t even think of opening for at least a decade.
