No other red wine in Australia can rival the reputation, consistent quality or proven development pattern of Penfolds Grange. The pinnacle of the Penfolds red wine range, Grange is a rich, opulent, full-bodied Shiraz, destined for a long cellar life. - The 1980 vintage is sourced from Barossa Valley (including Kalimna Vineyard), Clare Valley, Magill Estate, Mc - Laren Vale, and Coonawarra. Generally considered a good growing season with fine and warm conditions followed by a cool vintage. Another unusual vintage in that the grapes ripened late, but were very full. The nose is Intense, fragrant chocolate/cherry/prune/dried fig aromas. The palate is dense and chewy with generously ripe, prune/chocolate fruit flavours, pronounced grainy tannins and superb length. - Peak drinking now.
