Penfolds
Penfolds has been producing remarkable wines since 1844 and indisputably led the development of Australian fine wine in the modern era. The introduction of Penfolds Grange in 1951 forever changed the landscape of Australian fine wine. Since then a series of stand-out wines both white and red have been released under the Penfolds masthead. Peter Gago Penfolds Chief Winemaker and only the 4th custodian of Grange relishes the opportunity to bring Penfolds to the world stage and is an enthusiastic ambassador and natural educator. Penfolds came to the attention of the US market when 1990 Grange was Wine Spectator’s ‘Wine of the Year’. Since then Penfolds Grange has become one of the most collectable wines of the world and was honored to grace the front cover once again of Wine Spectator with declarations of Grange as Australia’s Icon.
Description
Colour: Crimson with purple hues at the core. Nose:Generous aromatics, equal parts sweet and savoury notes. Each varietal brings something intriguing to the party. Perfumed baking spices abound with raspberry coulis, dark cherry Danish and castor sugar dusting. A hint of bergamot provides an Earl Grey-esque allure. There is a certain plushness to the nose that is enriched by the presence of exotic spice. Palate: Oak derived spice makes its presence felt by way of Hungarian paprika and celery salt. There are layers of flavour, the sweetness of hazelnut chocolate balanced by savoury pan-seared pancetta, sandalwood and salted nori. A fine line of acid and talcy tannins make for a supple and plush mouthfeel.
