Penfolds Grange 2018 is the iconic flagship red from Penfolds, a Shiraz-dominant blend with Cabernet Sauvignon. Sourced from Penfolds’ premium sites, it delivers dense dark fruit, layered spice, and refined oak, all supported by a solid, age-worthy structure. A benchmark Australian red for collectors and special occasions; best with decanting and cellaring for decades.
