Grange

1978 Barossa Valley Shiraz

Penfolds Grange Grange from the renowned Barossa Valley is a captivating example of a mature Australian Shiraz, showcasing a stunning deep red hue. This exquisite vintage, 1978, reveals a full-bodied character, harmoniously balanced with pronounced acidity that brightens its profile. The fruit intensity is high, bursting with layers of ripe dark berries, plums, and hints of spice, all enveloped in the complex undertones of oak and earthy elements. The tannins are firm, providing structure while promising longevity, and the wine is crafted in a dry style, allowing the richness of flavors to shine through without heaviness. Enjoying this wine is not just a tasting experience but a journey through time, enriching the palate with its elegance and sophistication.
