Not a great Grange but superb - Huon Hooke

Penfolds Bin 95 Grange Shiraz is Australia's most famous wine with a reputation for superb fruit complexity and flavour richness. It is the most powerful expression of Penfolds multi-vineyard, multi-district blending philosophy and is officially listed as a Heritage Icon of South Australia. One of the world's great wines.

The 2011 Penfolds Grange is 100% Shiraz (for only the sixth time after 1951, 1952, 1963, 1999 and 2000) from premium vineyards in the Barossa Valley, McLaren Vale and Magill Estate. The wine was matured for 17 months in new American oak hogsheads.

"Deep colour. Fresh dark cherry, plum, liquorice and chinotto aromas with roasted chestnut and biscuit nuances. Inky fresh with dark cherry, plum, roasted coffee, panforte and meaty flavours, sweet fruit notes, dense chalky textures and underlying mocha and biscuit oak notes. Finishes chalky with plentiful new oak complexity. An attractive and elegantly styled Grange transcending the reputation of the vintage. Drinking well, but will improve with time. Peak drinking 2025 to 2060."  Penfolds 

Wine region map of South Australia

South Australia

South Australian is responsible for more than half the production of all Australian wine. It is home to more than 900 wineries across 18 wine regions. The regions are Adelaide Hills, Adelaide Plains, Barossa Valley, Clare Valley, Coonawarra, Currency Creek, Eden Valley, Kangaroo Island, Langhorne Creek, McLaren Vale, Mount Benson, Mount Gambier, Padthaway, Riverland, Robe, Southern Fleurieu, Southern Flinders Ranges and Wrattonbully.

Many of the well-known names in the South Australian wine industry established their first vineyards in the late 1830s and early 1840s. The first vines in McLaren Vale were planted at Reynella in 1839 and Penfold's established Magill Estate on the outskirts of Adelaide in 1844.

South Australia has a vast diversity in geography and climate which allows the State to be able to produce a range of grape varieties - from cool climate Riesling in the Clare and Eden Vallies to the big, full bodied Shiraz wines of the Barossa Valley and McLaren Vale. Two of Australia's best-known wines, Penfolds Grange and Henschke Hill of Grace, are produced here. There is much to discover in South Australia for the wine lover.
