Product Description: Penfolds Bin 95 Grange Shiraz 2015 is a powerful, elegant, and sophisticated red wine that continues the legendary legacy of one of Australia’s most iconic and prestigious wines. The 2015 vintage exemplifies the unique characteristics of South Australian Shiraz, benefiting from a warm and dry growing season that fostered an exceptional concentration of fruit flavours.

The history of Grange dates back to 1951, when Max Schubert created his first experimental batch, a wine that would go on to revolutionise Australian winemaking. Since then, Grange has remained a symbol of Penfolds’ commitment to quality and innovation. The 2015 vintage is no exception, earning perfect scores from top critics, and is regarded as a masterpiece that will age beautifully over the next few decades. Maker | Penfolds: Penfolds has been a pioneer in the world of winemaking since its establishment in 1844 by Dr. Christopher and Mary Penfold. The company’s success has been driven by a lineage of visionary winemakers who have pushed the development of the company to extraordinary, bold new heights. Mary Penfold’s reign at the helm of Penfolds saw years of determination and endeavour, experimenting with new methods in wine production. In 1948, Max Schubert became the company’s first Chief Winemaker and he propelled Penfolds onto the global stage with his experimentation of long-lasting wines – the creation of Penfolds Grange in the 1950s. Soon, the medals began flowing, and Grange quickly became one of the most revered wines around the world. In 2012, Penfolds released its most innovative project to date – 12 handcrafted ampoules of the rare 2004 Kalimna Block Cabernet Sauvignon. Today, Penfolds continues to hold dear the philosophies and legends that have driven the company’s success since its establishment in 1844. Grange | Penfolds: Penfolds Grange began in 1951 when Chief Winemaker Max Schubert set out to create a full-bodied, age-worthy Shiraz after being inspired by Bordeaux’s long-lived wines. Despite initial rejection from Penfolds’ management in 1957, Max continued making the wine in secret. His persistence paid off in 1960 when the board recognized Grange’s potential, and it was reinstated as a key product of Penfolds. Since then, Grange has become one of the world’s most iconic wines, renowned for its complexity, richness, and exceptional aging potential. Max Schubert’s Dream Max Schubert’s dream was simple but revolutionary: to craft a red wine that could stand the test of time. Blending traditional Australian techniques with inspiration from Bordeaux, he created Grange, a wine that pushed the boundaries of winemaking. His belief in innovation, combined with his ability to take risks, led to the creation of a wine that is now synonymous with excellence and a symbol of Australia’s wine industry. The Grange Legacy With its rich fruit flavours, complex aromas, and finely balanced tannins, Grange has consistently set the benchmark for premium Australian wines. Since its inception, it has earned countless accolades, including perfect scores from critics like Wine Spectator and Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate. Today, Grange remains a timeless expression of Australian craftsmanship, continually celebrated for its ability to evolve while staying true to its roots. Tasting Notes: Nose Complex, Aromatic, Bold An eruption of dark coffee grind, malt, and tapenade greets the nose, intertwined with black earth, peat, and fresh berry fruits. A layer of dark liquorice and soy adds depth, while the oak is seamlessly integrated and almost entirely absorbed, leaving room for the wine’s primary fruit and structural elements to shine.
