PenfoldsGrange 1998
About this product
Penfolds Grange - a name widely known throughout the world as Australia's premier wine. Created in the early 1950s by Max Schubert, it defined an entirely new wine style. Renowned for its concentration, opulence, complexity and length; this wine is revered around the world for its unnatural cellaring ability. Several decades are the norm, with great vintages managing half a century or more. Every Australian wine lover needs to try Grange at least once in their life - especially an outstanding vintage such as this. Bottle image is indicative only

Deep purple-red, it oozes blackberry, blackcurrant and licorice from every pore, the palate a sumptuously smooth velvet cushion of small black fruits. It will outlive anyone who can afford to buy it.
