The 1960 to 1977 editions of Grange Hermitage were regularly entered into Australian Wine Shows with considerable success. Max Schubert retired as chief winemaker in 1973, but remained involved as mentor and Winemaker Emeritus for another twenty years. Schubert described 1977 Grange as "Complex and vibrant, sweet, meaty truffly fruit with perfumed apricot marmalade and black fruit notes. Concentrated and textured with sweet, briary, apricot, star anise. Fine dry tannins and excellent length. A remarkable wine!"
Vintage 1977 was finished with a higher proportion of Cabernet Sauvignon, weighing in at a hefty nine percent. A collation of exceptional harvests, the backbone from the spiritual home of Grange at Magill Estate, adjacent to the Penfold wineworks in Adelaide Hills, the distinguished Kalimna Vineyard and other prestigious sites in Barossa Valley, assembled alongside the pick of fruit from Valley Clare. Cool, mild conditions prevailed during the growing season. Central to the long lived style of Grange is an extended term of maturation in an extravagant selection of exclusively new American oak hogsheads.
TASTING NOTES
Deep brick red. Intense blackberry/ smoked oyster/ meaty aromas. The palate is quite forward and developed with meaty /leather /spice bitumen flavours and tight, grainy, slightly sappy tannins. Finishes dry and tight.
 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»
