Penfolds Grange 2009 captures the enduring character of Australia's most celebrated wine, a Heritage Icon of South Australia with an unbroken lineage stretching back to 1951. Built around intensely flavoured Shiraz from South Australia's finest vineyards, this vintage is powerful yet remarkably poised, drawing the drinker in with red fruits, liquorice, spice and rich notes of chocolate, mocha and juicy plum. Beneath its generosity lies impressive structure, with savoury tannins and new oak working in harmony to create a wine of depth, grip and remarkable longevity. A compelling chapter in the Grange story, the 2009 vintage promises to reward patient cellaring well into 2050.
