Wines explored during this live Zoom chat included Vintage 2017 Bin 389, Vintage 2016 St Henri, Vintage 2015 Grange and Vintage 2018 Bin 311, while topics ranged from the best time to drink said vintages to what foods should be paired with each.

Founded in 1844, Penfolds is one of Australia’s oldest and most established wineries. Its flagship Grange has been acknowledged alongside First Growth wines and is the only Australian wine to receive a perfect 100 point score from both Wine Spectator (US) and Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate (US) for the same Vintage (2008 Grange). Today, Grange’s iconic position in Australian wine history is undisputed: it is uniquely heritage-listed by the South Australian National Trust.
