Peter Gago, Penfolds chief winemaker said: “I really believe the 2009 release is one of the best yet for Penfolds, and boasts some exceptional wines. The wait for this Grange release has been much anticipated for good reason, and it is arguably the finest vintage since the stellar ‘90, ‘96 and ‘98 vintages. 2004 was an outstanding vintage in Magill, the Barossa Valley and McLaren Vale, where the grapes for Penfolds Grange are grown. Penfolds’ South Australian vineyards all fared the above-average winter rainfall well, and mild conditions followed by warmer weather in Spring led to wines of elegance and intensity.”
