What began as a small medical vineyard—producing fortified wines for therapeutic use—evolved over time into a benchmark producer of fine table wines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"543\" data-end=\"893\"\u003ePenfolds rose to international fame largely thanks to its flagship wine, Grange, first created by the legendary winemaker \u003cspan class=\"hover:entity-accent entity-underline inline cursor-pointer align-baseline\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"whitespace-normal\"\u003eMax Schubert\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e in the 1950s. Initially controversial, Grange is now considered one of the greatest wines in the world, known for its power, longevity, and distinctive style based primarily on Shiraz.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"895\" data-end=\"1350\"\u003eA defining feature of Penfolds is its multi-regional blending philosophy, sourcing grapes from various top vineyards across South Australia rather than focusing on a single estate. This approach allows for consistency and complexity across vintages. In addition to Grange, the winery produces a wide range of highly regarded wines, including Bin 389 (often called “Baby Grange”), Bin 707 Cabernet Sauvignon, St Henri Shiraz, and Yattarna Chardonnay.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1352\" data-end=\"1600\"\u003eStylistically, Penfolds wines tend to emphasize structure, richness, and aging potential, often combining ripe fruit with oak influence and careful blending. At the same time, the house style aims for balance and precision rather than excess.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1602\" data-end=\"1880\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\"\u003eToday, Penfolds is part of \u003cspan class=\"hover:entity-accent entity-underline inline cursor-pointer align-baseline\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"whitespace-normal\"\u003eTreasury Wine Estates\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e and remains a flagship name not only for Australian wine but for the global fine wine market, with bottles ranging from accessible everyday options to some of the most expensive and collectible wines in the world.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"penfolds-grange-2019","title":"Penfolds Grange 2019","description":null,"brand":"Penfolds","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52719369683282,"sku":"124829","price":355.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0729\/7567\/9804\/files\/124829.jpg?v=1771334083"},{"product_id":"penfolds-grange-2020","title":"Penfolds Grange 2020","description":null,"brand":"Penfolds","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52719369716050,"sku":"124805","price":359.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0729\/7567\/9804\/files\/124805.jpg?v=1771334263"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0729\/7567\/9804\/collections\/1920x900-grange-story-full-width_1.webp?v=1777969805","url":"https:\/\/totalgrandcru.com\/collections\/penfolds.oembed","provider":"Total Grand Cru","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
