Their wines have received numerous accolades and continue to be celebrated for their craftsmanship and exceptional flavors.

Penfolds Grange has even been officially registered as a heritage icon of South Australia. Launched with the 1951 experimental vintage, this wine expresses the synergy between the Shiraz grape variety and the soil and climate of South Australia. The result is a unique wine which finds its place amongst the best wines in the world. The estate uses the philosophy of "blending", that is using grapes from multiple vineyards and multiple-districts (Barossa Valley, McLaren Vale, Clare Valley & Magill Estate). 

This blend of predominantly Shiraz grapes with a touch of Cabernet Sauvignon showcases the exceptional aging potential of this wine. The 2009 vintage benefited from ideal weather conditions, resulting in a deep ruby color and a complex nose of dark fruits, spice, and hints of mocha. On the palate, it offers a rich and concentrated structure with velvety tannins, showcasing flavors of blackberry, plum, licorice, and subtle oak. This highly acclaimed wine represents the artistry of Penfolds and the unique terroir of the Barossa Valley.
