Although management was kept away, friends and associates, who believed in the cause of Grange, were occasionally brought in to taste the wines. Some bottles were even given away. Although considered uncommercial in 1957, good news began to filter out about Schubert’s unique Grange Hermitage. The Penfolds Board generously ordered production of Grange to restart, just in time for the 1960 vintage. In 1962, the 1955 Penfolds Grange won the first of 50 gold medals and many trophies. The Grange legend was born. It is Australia’s most famous and respected wine, with a reputation for superb fruit complexity, richness of flavour and longevity. Grange is now proven to last more than 50 years, further enhancing this timeless story of personal triumph and extraordinary vision.
