The birth of Penfolds Grange (Penfolds BIN95) was inspired by the great dream of a talented winemaker and his unyielding and uncompromising spirit. This genius is Max Schubert. Max Schubert was born on February 9, 1915. He has been involved in Penfolds since he was 15 years old. However, at that time, he was just a groom responsible for transporting samples. As a young man, he relied on his My passion for the world, my love for wine and my unyielding spirit have gone through several ups and downs and arduous study and training. I have traveled all the way from Spain to Bordeaux, where I learned the knowledge of French wine making, and finally Became Penfolds' first chief winemaker.

In the 1950s, Max Schubert was very troubled by the fact that Australian wine in the New World was not taken seriously by the world. Although he was already middle-aged at that time, the passion of a young man in his bones was boiling again. He felt that Australia’s unique terroir and his His winemaking talent will definitely enable him to produce a wine in Australia that surpasses the famous Bordeaux wines.

 

So he took a unique approach to brewing Grange using a completely different concept from the estate wines of Bordeaux, France. The grapes used were from various contracted grape suppliers in the Barossa Valley. This was a pioneering work.

For some commemoration, winemaker Max Schubert used the name "Grange".

 

But things are fickle. From 1951 to 1960, he experienced setbacks such as being misunderstood by the world, being criticized by industry insiders for his finished products, and being forced to stop research and development and brewing by the company. At this moment, the only thing supporting him was the 15-year-old groom's love for wine and the unquenchable youthful fire in his heart.

After all the hardships, it happened to coincide with 1960, an excellent year in Australia. Max Schubert finally got a perfect wine. That year, Penfolds Grange had powerful tannins, a rich and mellow taste, amazing balance, and great cellaring potential. Since then, Penfolds Grange has received international recognition and been awarded many awards. Among them, the 1990 Penfolds Grange was named "Wine of the Year" by "Wine Spectator", which made Grange famous in one fell swoop and became a well-deserved wine. The "Australian Wine King"!

 

It is precisely because of Grange's success that Australian wine has suddenly entered the ranks of the world's top wines from the unknown Australian New World. What is even more proud is that his success has made the world start to look at Australian wine again. Australian wine is because of Grange. Xu also officially entered the mainstream stage of world wine. The world calls him the King of Australian Wine, not only because of the quality and charm of Grange, but also because he is the flagship of Australian wine, inheriting Australian culture, genes and the talented winemaker himself who is brave in innovation, dares to pioneer, The spirit of not compromising or admitting defeat.
