Collection: Penfolds Bin 95 Grange Shiraz

Penfolds Grange Hermitage represented a wave of new optimism and ambition within post-war Australia, where Ray Beckwith’s groundbreaking science and Max Schubert’s imaginative winemaking skills collided with conservative forces and resistance.

THE WINEMAKING

Bin 95 Grange Shiraz is typically a multi-vineyard, multi-region blend focused on warm-climate, fully ripe shiraz fruit. While predominantly shiraz, cabernet sauvignon material is also utilised. Barrel fermentation in the final stage of vinification is followed by maturation in new American oak hogsheads for 20 months.

THE WINE

This beautifully perfumed and concentrated wine is memorable for its intensely rich fruit, ripe tannins of shiraz and the complementary nuances of new, fine-grained American oak. The best vintages possess a lasting quality of more than 50 years.
