While there will only ever be one Grange, Max’s conviction that the Penfolds approach of sourcing the best fruit from the finest vineyards to marry regional and varietal character to the distinctive Penfolds style, maintaining an unwaveringly high level of quality, lives on in the impressive range of wines.

Regardless of vintage, Grange delivers fresh fruit in a delicious, clear and explosive style without any overpowering woodiness or unnecessary complexities. "Penfolds, miraculously, have pulled a rabbit out of a hat with this wine. In what was a pretty ordinary year, this is a spicy, peppery, deliciously aromatic wine that, combined with a tangy, gamey palate, makes it seem entirely Rhonish. At its core is a cruise of plum and a sheen of vanilla, and it all comes ushered on smooth, velvet-padded rails!' -Winefront.com.au

By the early sixties, Penfolds Grange had secured its future. The experimental work carried out by Max Schubert left lasting impressions. Penfolds work in research and development, working hand in hand with new ideas within the constraints of the knowledge of the time, resulted in an emerging Penfolds house style. This is the first Grange to use grapes from the cool-climate Coonawarra district. The wine won two Gold and three Silver medals in Australian wine shows between 1963 and 1968.
