Labelled very plainly as Penfolds Claret, Grange Hermitage 1967 claimed the seventh Jimmy Watson Memorial Trophy for best one year old red in the land. 1965 Grange had already claimed the same accolade two years previously. Individual bottles of vintage 1967 may be labelled as Bin 74 or Bin 95. Max Schubert describes vintage 1967 as sweet, complex and intense, stocky /truffle like. Developed with ripe, concentrated, meaty chocolate flavours, silky tannin structure and long, well balanced finish.
Throughout the 1960s, editions of Grange were regularly entered into wine shows with considerable success, two vintages claimed the prestigious Jimmy Watson Trophy. A blend of 94% Shiraz and 6% Cabernet Sauvignon from the Kalimna and other superior Barossa vineyards, Clare Valley and Magill Estate. A fairly dry growing season was followed by a warm vintage, just in time for picking. The first Grange ever to include a component of Clare Valley fruit, a lighter, more elegant and fragrant style of Shiraz, Max Schubert considered vintage 1967 to be excellent and grossly underrated ny pundits. The completed wine was matured eighteen months in a selection of new American oak hogsheads. Alcohol 12.7%
TASTING NOTES
Medium brick red. A very intriguing nose of caramel, lifted prune/ liquorice/ baked earth aromas with some vegetal/ vegemite nuances. The palate is well concentrated with prune/ earthy flavours and pronounced leafy tannins. Tannins build up thick and dry at the finish.
 Penfolds
Penfolds was founded by a young English doctor who migrated to one of his country's most distant colonies a century and a half ago
Dr Christopher Rawson Penfold was born in 1811, the youngest of 11 children. He studied medicine at St Bartholomew's Hospital, London, graduating in 1838. Like many doctors before and since, Dr Penfold had a firm belief in the medicinal value of wine. Before he left Britain he had obtained vine cuttings from the south of France and these were planted around the site of the modest stone cottage he built with his wife, Mary, at Magill on the outskirts of Adelaide in 1845. The couple called this house The Grange, after Mary's home in England. Penfolds»
