Penfolds is one of Australia’s most prestigious wine houses, globally renowned for crafting wines of depth, longevity, and regional expression. The RWT Shiraz exemplifies their mastery of Barossa Valley fruit, combining power with elegance in a truly iconic style.

This is a genuine opportunity to own a fully mature bottle of Australia's most collected wine, from a vintage now well over three decades old. Grange has held its place as the benchmark of Australian winemaking since Max Schubert first created it in the 1950s, built from select South Australian Shiraz and matured in new American oak. At this age, the 1988 has moved well past its youthful fruit-forward phase into something more layered and savoury, showing dark fruit, dried plum, leather, cedar, and spice, with tannins that have had decades to soften and integrate. Bottles from this era are increasingly scarce, which is part of what makes a well-provenanced 1988 worth seeking out, whether for a serious collection, a significant occasion, or simply the experience of tasting Grange the way time was always meant to shape it.
