Grange 1955 won 50+ gold medals since 1962; Grange 1971 triumphed at the 1979 Wine Olympics in Paris About Penfolds
Penfolds is the foremost wine producer in Australia, founded in 1844 by Dr Christopher and Mary Penfold in Magill, a suburb of Adelaide, originally to make medicinal tonics and fortified wines. Through over 175 years, it has evolved into a globally recognized powerhouse, celebrated especially for its flagship Shiraz‑Cabernet blend, Grange, which set the benchmark for New World fine wine.
Working with vineyards across South Australia—including Magill Estate, Barossa, Coonawarra, and the Adelaide Hills—Penfolds sources premium fruit with a “multi‑vineyard, multi‑regional” philosophy (penfolds.com). Under the stewardship of iconic winemakers—Max Schubert, John Duval, and since 2002, Peter Gago—the estate produces a wide portfolio from accessible Bins to legendary single‑vineyard treasures, marrying tradition, innovation, and unparalleled consistency
