Introducing Penfolds g5

The final release in a coveted series.

We are proud to announce a special new wine blended from five vintages of Grange, aptly named Penfolds g5.

This wine is the final release in the ‘g’ series trio – following the highly successful launch of Penfolds g3 and g4 in 2017 and 2020.

The Penfolds g5 blend energetically entwines Grange DNA from the exceptional 2010, 2012, 2014, 2016 and 2018 vintages, to create a completely unique expression of our flagship.

100 Points, James Suckling

"Glorious aromas of blackberry, spice, tile and toasted wood that move into sandalwood, violet and rose petal, then cloves and nutmeg, before revealing a cappuccino and cream undertone. Full-bodied yet very tight and compacted with a dense center palate that is still agile and energetic. Tightly wound and compressed. Great complexity. Waiting to open and unravel in the bottle. It builds on the palate with such fine tannins that perfectly integrate. 97% shiraz and 3% cabernet sauvignon, with 70% from Barossa Valley, the rest from McLaren Vale and Claire Valley with small percentages from other sources. Multi-vintage blend: 2010, 2012, 2014, 2016 and 2018. 2,200 bottles produced. Drink this after 2021 and onwards but already an ethereal wine!"

99 Points, Wine Spectator

"A stunner. This is complex, stylish and distinctive, with aromatics leaping out of the glass, including dark chocolate-covered peppermint patties, dried sage, salted black licorice, black forest cake, and plenty of rich spiced plum, cherry preserves and framboise. Savory elements balance out the richness, with hints of dried porcini, white truffle and firming earthy notes and a touch of black walnut liqueur. The tannins are polished and refined, while the finish is epic. Drink now through 2045."

“g5 = 2010 + 2012 + 2014 + 2016 + 2018 Grange = 70… in Grange’s 70th Anniversary Year!”

PETER GAGO, PENFOLDS CHIEF WINEMAKER

A wine greater than the sum of its parts

Penfolds g5 represents the true essence of Grange; where pioneering spirit meets time-honoured Fortified & Champagne philosophies & winemaking techniques.

Blending across vintages is part of Penfolds winemaking philosophy and has been since 1844. Penfolds Tawny styles, famous in the mid-1800’s, continue a long tradition of fortified wines that celebrate this particular blending style. A natural progression was to apply this venerated technique to a create a new Penfolds red style, first with Penfolds g3, Penfolds g4 and finally Penfolds g5.

Only 60 bottles of this ultra-rare release will be available for the US market.
