About this Item
The pinnacle of the Penfolds red wine range, Grange is a rich, opulent, full-bodied Shiraz, destined for a long cellar life. The winemaking process involves great attention to detail; from selecting the best possible grapes sourced from low-yielding, old Shiraz vines through to fermentation and fastidious oak maturation. The unique and distinctive Grange style is based on ripe Shiraz fruit and stylish American oak in fine harmony.

Critics Ratings
‘Deep brick colored, the 1982 Grange has an evolved/mature, meat/gamy and spice cake nose with a waft of balsamic, old chesterfield and some pleasant funk. Soft, elegant, fully mature and light to medium-bodied, it still has tons of spice and savory fruit to offer and satisfying length.’ – Lisa Perrotti-Brown, Wine Advocate, 94/100 (Oct 2016)
‘Gorgeous core of fruit. Very complex but slightly funky. Dry finish. They call it '82 char'. Red currants?’ – Jancis Robinson MW, JancisRobinson.com, 18/20 (Jun 2011)
‘Packed with bright flavors, raspberry and red plum dominating, with great length and sweet tannins to suggest a long life. Harmonious and elegant beneath focused power.’ – Harvey Steiman, Wine Spectator, 92/100 (Jan 1997)
