Establishing its roots in 1844, just eight short years after the foundation of South Australia, Penfolds winery proudly reflects the journey from colonial settlement to the modern era of Australia itself. In fact, many believe that Australia’s wine industry would be greatly different, had it not been for Penfolds’ influence and pivotal role in the evolution of winemaking in Australia and around the world. Penfolds’ collection of touchstone wines were created in a spirit of innovation and the endless pursuit of excellency, as evidenced in the first bottlings of Penfolds Grange in 1951. Penfolds Winemaker Max Schubert toured through Europe that previous year, and upon his return, he implemented the winemaking techniques he observed in Bourdeaux, with an aim to create a red blend that rivaled the finest Bourdeaux wines in terms of aging potential and quality. Made predominantly from the Shiraz or Syrah grape and customarily a small percentage of Cabernet Sauvignon, the red blend Penfolds Grange wine was considered one of the world’s most highly collectible and sought-after wines since its very first bottling.

Every year since that first bottling in 1951, not a vintage has been missed, winning over 50 gold medals, being named Wine Spectator’s “Wine of the Year” twice, and being the only Australian winery to receive 100 points from both Wine Spectator and Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate, for their 2008 Grange. Opaque ruby in the glass, Penfolds Grange boasts a heady, perfumed bouquet that evokes cherry compote, cassis, violet, tobacco, smoked vanilla and deep oak flavors. Tannins come up for air, but they’re quickly absorbed by the wine’s lush fruit. This is such an outstanding wine, the experts at WineBaskets.com simply had to offer it up in an exclusive collection of Penfolds wine gifts.
