Penfolds Bin 95 Grange Shiraz 2021

Product Description:
An Australian icon with global gravity.

Penfolds Grange needs no introduction. First crafted as an experiment in 1951 by Max Schubert, this 2021 vintage continues the legacy with a wine of commanding depth and structure. A blend of 94% Shiraz and 6% Cabernet Sauvignon drawn from Barossa Valley, McLaren Vale and Clare Valley, it captures the full Penfolds philosophy—multi-vineyard, multi-district, and uncompromising in style.

The 2021 is already hailed as one of the great modern Grange vintages, shaped by ideal growing conditions and meticulous winemaking. Matured in 100% new American oak hogsheads, it’s a wine of immense longevity and presence, yet one with surprising finesse. This release marks a high point in Grange’s seven-decade lineage, presented in its signature gift box for collectors and purists alike.

Reviews & Accolades
“Quite simply, a wow wine… seamless, intense and immaculate with knife‑edge balance. It simply dances with joy… This is as close to a perfect Grange as I can imagine.” – Ken Gargett, 100 points

“This is a spectacular Grange… a landmark Grange… never tasted a Grange with this individuality and presence.” – Matthew Jukes, 20+/20

“Penfolds Grange Bin 95 Shiraz 2021 is a stellar release. … This 2021 release shows minor signs of development, unusual for a Grange on release. The nose smells of sweet balsamic, chocolate‑coated raisins, plums, meats, grates of citrus rind, a march of crushed ants, cigar smoke and toasted rye. The palate itself is defined by its tannin… tooled tight but ushering cushions of fruit along with it. There’s leather, and mint, and plum, and a toasty‑toffeed note… This release stands out – particularly on the nose – as quite different.” – Campbell Mattinson, The Winefront, 97 pts (July 2025)

“Unquestionably destined for greatness, … composure and assuredness every step of the way. A staggeringly complex array of aromas: boysenberry, blueberry, mulberry, Dutch licorice, roasted quince, coriander seed; scorched beef fat, ristretto and panforte. Sculpted muscle, vertiginous depth, tannins tightened to travel across decades. A truly great Grange.” – Nick Ryan, The Australian (Rewards of Patience review), 99 pts (July 2025)
