What are the Grange Clinics?
The Wine Clinic programme, which has been running in Australia for the last 10 years, is a facility for owners of Penfolds reds of 15 years and older to have their wines assessed, free of charge, by John Duval and winemaker Peter Gago. The wines are opened, tasted, topped up, recorked and recapsulated with a special label to certify the wine is sound. Since 1991, Penfolds has held more than 50 such clinics around Australia, examining nearly 40,000 bottles brought in by more than 7,000 owners. Penfolds call the clinics ‘the ultimate in after-sales service’.
