The 2016 Grange includes 3% Cabernet Sauvignon and was sourced from Barossa Valley, McLaren Vale and Clare Valley, with a little bit from Magill Estate, in the suburbs of Adelaide. Aged in 100% new American oak (as always), it offers up trademark lifted aromas plus scents of vanilla, toasted coconut, cedar, raspberries and blackberries. Impressively concentrated and full-bodied, with an extraordinarily long, velvety finish, it's nevertheless reasonably fresh and tight, with decades of cellaring potential if properly stored. RP

“Two and three decades respectively later, and whilst of a different disposition to classic 1986 and 1996 Granges, the 2016 vintage will certainly hold its own in such company. Justifiably, this most recently released 2016 Grange vintage was a crowd favourite during recent Rewards of Patience (Ed VIII) tastings/assessments.” Peak drinking 2022-2065. By Winemaker - Peter Gago
