1 x 75cl. The producer, Penfolds, has a history that goes beyond the story of Grange. In 1844, Dr Christopher and Mary Penfold planted vine cuttings, which they had brought from Europe, at Magill Estate in South Australia. Through innovation and hard work, Penfolds became South Australia's largest winery by the early twentieth century. When winemaker Max Schubert joined in 1948, he walked into a successful operation. His experiments with different blends of wines and the use of American oak led to the creation of wines that were groundbreaking. The Grange project, started in 1951, was initially put on hold, although the wines were made and stored in secret until it was officially re-instated in 1960. Around the same time, the 'Bin' concept began, where wines of different source and blend were given bin numbers on release. Some of these became continual releases to this day, while others had short runs or were only released in exceptional years.
