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.

An exquisitely hedonistic and nearly decadent rendition of Grange, this remarkable blend comprising 91% Shiraz and 9% Cabernet Sauvignon sourced from three prestigious vineyards - Kalimna in the Barossa, Penfolds' other esteemed Barossa sources, and the renowned McLaren Vale - showcases itself as a sumptuously opulent wine, evoking comparisons to the allure of Pomerol. With a fruit profile that leans towards the luxuriously over-ripe, it enchants the palate with the fusion of cherry liqueur, cranberry, and cassis, all elegantly presented in a full-bodied, velvety, and decidedly forward style. While it may not follow the classic Grange archetype with its enormous structure and massive concentration, this wine is an embodiment of richness, fullness, and indulgence.
