2018 Penfolds Grange Bin 95

This is a flawless, modern legend from Australia's most celebrated and collected wine dynasty, Penfolds Grange. Officially listed as a Heritage Icon of South Australia, Grange represents the absolute pinnacle of Penfolds' multi-vineyard, multi-district blending philosophy. Rather than focusing on a single plot, it unites the absolute finest old-vine fruit from South Australia's premium warm-climate regions, culminating in a unique, world-famous style that is finished with barrel fermentation and 18 months of maturation in 100% new American oak hogsheads.

The 2018 vintage is widely heralded as a monumental, perfect-scoring masterpiece across South Australia, yielding fruit of extraordinary density, structural harmony, and immense longevity.
