      Structure, longevity, and understated power define this mature vintage from Penfolds. The Bin 95 Grange Shiraz 1987 continues the legacy of Max Schubert, whose pioneering work established Grange as Australia’s most revered wine. Sourced from a selection of vineyards across South Australia, the wine reflects Penfolds’ multi-regional blending philosophy, designed to create wines of consistency and longevity. The 1987 vintage followed a warm and dry growing season, producing fruit of concentration and structure, well suited for extended ageing. A bottle signed by Max Schubert adds an additional layer of rarity and provenance, enhancing its appeal to collectors.

      In the glass, the wine shows a deep garnet colour with brick-edged hues, indicative of maturity while retaining depth. Aromatically, it offers a complex interplay of dark fruit, spice, leather, and earthy notes, evolving further with time in the glass. The palate is firm yet composed, with layers of flavour supported by resolved tannins and integrated oak. Despite its age, the wine maintains structure and balance, with acidity providing lift and clarity. The hallmark Grange intensity is present, though expressed through refinement and savoury complexity. This is a wine for slow appreciation, revealing its nuances gradually and offering a compelling sense of history. It pairs well with roasted meats, game, or aged cheeses, while also standing confidently on its own.

      Trusted by the professionals

      Deep garnet-brick colored, the 1987 Grange reveals notes of dried plums, mulberries and fruitcake with hints of leather, tobacco, earth and spice box. Medium-bodied, the palate is lively and structured with a good line of acidity and a chewy texture, finishing long and savoury.

      — Lisa Perrotti-Brown

      The 1987 Grange is a solid, well-made wine, but it lacks the concentration and depth of the top vintages. It offers a dark ruby color, with smoky, earthy, cassis and spice aromas. Medium-bodied, with firm tannin and a respectable finish.

      — Robert Parker

      Penfolds

      Founded in 1844 by Dr Christopher and Mary Penfold at Magill Estate in South Australia, Penfolds has grown from a small colonial winery into one of Australia’s most significant wine producers. Its history has been shaped by generations of winemakers willing to challenge convention while preserving a remarkably consistent approach to style and quality.

      Mary Penfold played a defining role in the winery’s early development, overseeing production and experimenting with grape varieties and winemaking techniques as the estate expanded. A century later, Max Schubert would transform Penfolds again. Appointed the company’s first Chief Winemaker in 1948, his ambition to create an Australian red capable of developing over decades led to the first experimental Grange in 1951.

      That spirit of experimentation has continued through successive generations of Penfolds winemakers. From benchmark Australian wines including Grange, St Henri and Bin 707 to contemporary projects extending beyond Australia, the House has continued to evolve while maintaining a winemaking lineage stretching back more than 180 years.
