About this WINE
Shiraz/Syrah
Black pepper, plum, dark chocolate, full color and tanninsThis grape is known as Syrah in northern Rhône, France and as Shiraz when grown in Australia. No matter what you call it, there is a Syrah or Shiraz for every palate and every occasion.This bold grape produces a range of powerful and smooth wines. The wines are ripe and indulgent, but leave you with its distinctive relish and go well with red meat.Whereas the Syrah/Shiraz grown in warmer conditions in general is sweeter and riper, wines from cooler areas appear aromatic, spicy and somewhat restrained.Choose a bottle from Barossa in Sout

These wines are regarded for their optimised regional character and microclimate variants such as soil, drainage and aspect. Examples include RWT Barossa Valley Shiraz, Bin 128 Coonawarra Shiraz, Reserve Bin A Adelaide Hills Chardonnay, Bin 150 Marananga Shiraz and Bin 23 Adelaide Hills Pinot Noir.Finally, both multi-region and multi-varietal blending exemplify what Penfolds is best known for from a winemaking perspective – crafting wines to a house style. Penfolds Grange is the original and most powerful expression of this blending philosophy, which results in a consistency of style and quality across vintages. Other examples of this style include Quantum Bin 98, Yattarna, Bin 389 Cabernet Shiraz and Grandfather Rare Tawny.THE MAGIC OF PENFOLDS BEGINS IN THE VINEYARD. The selection of vineyard sites and quality of fruit have always underpinned Penfolds reputation.
