Dry, Full Bodied style of ShirazPenfolds Grange, or quite simply "Grange" as it has come to become known heralded from humble beginnings in the early 1950's and has become an icon of not only the Australian wine industry, but to the wine world in general. The vision of Max Schubert has born an Australian legend that is officially listed as a Heritage Icon of South Australia. A multi-regional masterpiece that shows power, concentration and balance to showcase the very best in Australian wine. The 1989 vintage has proven to be an early drinking vintage and is at its best now, but will survive easily until 2015. Bottle image is indicative only

Dry wines have no trace of sweetness at all.

Sweet leafy jammy Ribena-like nose; unusual. Non-Grange-like. Very sweet jammy overripe flavours; open and soft, fruity and sweet: a fruit-bomb. Mocha chocolate and raisin. Not typical Grange structure either: lacks backbone.
