Merchant's description

The original and most powerful expression of Penfolds multi-vineyard, multi-district blending philosophy, Grange is arguably Australia’s most celebrated wine. A blend of 97% Shiraz and 3% Cabernet Sauvignon, the 2016 is an utterly divine release, imbued with extraordinary concentration and carry of flavour. This is undoubtedly a classic in the making, you will just have to wait 20 years to see it at its best!
