------------------
Tim Adams' flagship wine, known as 'Clare Valley's Grange' by 'Langtons Classification' (an Australian wine classification), which is also referred to as Australia's wine king Penfolds Grange.
Aberfeldy is aged for 24 months in new American and French barrels, followed by 12 months in Stainless Steel, preserving the rich fruit flavors while integrating the notes from the oak barrels.
Experience the shadow of the wine king with just four years of age.

James Halliday:

"Hand-picked components of the final blend were macerated for 14 days post ferment, contributing to the full body of the wine.
This was then taken to another level with 24 months maturation in new American and French hogsheads.
Tim Adams says the wine is described by some as the Clare Valley's Grange, and I don't quarrel with that."
