PenfoldsSavaterre Chardonnay 2008
Dry, Full Bodied style of Shiraz
About this product
Dry, Full Bodied style of ShirazPenfolds Grange continues to be the icon of the Australian wine industry for both its quality and consistency. From humble beginnings in the early 1950s to the icon it has become today, Penfolds Grange is engrained into the psyche of wine lovers across the world. The vision of Max Schubert has borne 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. John Duval's Grange from 1988 has a richly extravagant palate with complex mocha, dark chocolate, dark berry, herb fruit, and dense ripe tannins. Finishes chalky-firm but superbly long and flavourful. A great Grange still on the ascendancy. Bottle image is indicative only.

Full bodied red wines have a noticeably textural mouthfeel with bold, complex flavours. Often deeply coloured.
Dry wines have no trace of sweetness at all.

Vintage 1988
90 points The Real Review
Slightly lighter, less youthful colour; roast meat aromas; pan scrapings; drying tannins and savoury flavours. Puckering grip. Very grippy. Needs food. Plenty of life ahead but tastes quite evolved now. Now to 15 years.
