Penfolds Rewards of Patience tasting panel 2021 – 5/5 rating
Wine Enthusiast Top 100 Cellar Selections of 2019

Peak Drinking:2025-2050.

The 2014 Grange is true to what Max Schubert first imagined Grange should be, ‘a wine that can stand on its own two feet throughout the world and would be capable of improvement year on year’ Poised yet powerful. The original and most powerful expression of Penfolds multi-vineyard, multi-district, blending philosophy. Crafted utilising fully-ripe, intensely-flavoured and structured shiraz grapes. With an unbroken line of vintages from the experimental 1951, Grange demonstrates the synergy between shiraz and the soils and climates of South Australia. Matured for 20 months in 100% new American oak hogsheads.

Tasting Notes:

Deep crimson. Fresh elemental elderberry, blackberry, sage and aniseed aromas with roasted chestnut, vanilla oak and herb garden notes. Densely packed with concentrated blackberry cassis and dark cherry fruits, fine plentiful chalky/grainy firm tannins, superb mocha and vanilla oak complexity and fine integrated but crunchy acidity. Finishes smooth and velvety. A substantial and multi-layered wine with extraordinary density and balance. Many decades ahead of it.
