    If you poll a room of wine professionals about the most memorable Australian wine they've ever opened, 9/10 will tell you Penfolds Grange . The icon wine from South Australia has been produced since 1951, when winemaker Max Schubert brought magic to the world of wine. Today Peter Gago, the fourth winemaker in succession, handles the brilliance of Grange and moves the needle on the world's affinity for this darling of the wine world. Now you can get your hands on this iconic wine with a limited-edition label takeover from famous street artist NIGO .

    The Grange by NIGO celebrates the 2019 Grange in an innovative style that has never been done before. Grange has been a beloved figure around the world breaking records with resale value of aged bottles and lines out the door for the latest release. The bottle has never changed or been tampered with throughout the years, until now. The ‘Penfolds Grange’ logo reimagined through the iconic Human Made font style. This bold, colorful graphic pays tribute to Grange in NIGO’s signature art style while the wooden gift box structure is inspired by Grange’s heritage and NIGO’s love of paying homage to the past.

    Inspired by his first visit to Penfolds Magill Estate Winery in 2022, and his time with the Penfolds team reviewing archive material from Penfolds history, NIGO has re-imagined the packaging design of Grange for this one-off series. The Grange by NIGO release includes collectable 750ml ( 1,500 available ) and 1.5L ( 150 available ) gift boxes to house the 2019 Grange. Each box is individually numbered and includes a bandana and bottle neck tag designed by NIGO, plus an authenticity certificate. The design approach pays tribute to Grange in NIGO’s signature style, featuring a bold and colorful grape graphic and Penfolds logo reimagined through Human Made’s iconic typography.

    Born from a pioneering spirit, curiosity, and experimentation, Penfolds Grange is the most powerful expression of Penfolds House Style . With an unbroken line of vintages since 1951, the South Australian heritage icon continues to be one of the world’s most collected wines. The Grange by NIGO limited edition heroes the current 2019 vintage of Grange, made from the very highest quality Shiraz grapes from vineyards across South Australia.

    NIGO has been at the forefront of culture, establishing himself as a global icon and cultural pioneer. As the Creative Director of Human Made and Artistic Director of KENZO, NIGO is known for his innovative and future-thinking vision. Reflecting on his first visit to Penfolds in South Australia, NIGO said: “ I have been a collector of Grange for many years, but it wasn’t until I visit Penfolds Magill Estate that I truly understood the craftmanship and history behind the historic wine. It was an honor to be the first person to collaborate on a design for Grange, especially as the brand celebrates its 180 th anniversary.

    Penfolds Grange by NIGO is now available globally as limited supply lasts. For stockist information and more details visit penfolds.com . Future projects between Penfolds and NIGO will be announced later in 2024.
