The reputation — the story that sells at the table

Grange 1976 sold for AUD $850,000 at auction (2004) — the most expensive Australian wine ever sold. Penfolds Bin 389 ('baby Grange') offers exceptional value. Available at BC LDB and premium bottle shops. Grange is an allocation item at LDB.

Practice
Australia's most iconic winery and the producer of Grange — the southern hemisphere's most collectable wine. Founded 1844 by Dr. Christopher Rawson Penfold and Mary Penfold. Max Schubert created Grange in 1951 against company opposition (it was briefly discontinued). Now owned by Treasury Wine Estates. The house style: multi-region, multi-vineyard blending for consistency — Grange sources from Barossa, Magill Estate, McLaren Vale, and Coonawarra depending on the year.
