DOWN UNDER: A Monumental 1983 Vintage

In 1983, Men at Work’s “Down Under” hit number 1 at the US Billboard Hot 100 Music Chart.
Down under, grapes for the 1983 vintage of Penfolds Grange Hermitage Bin 95 were harvested, overcoming difficulties brought about by drought, the devastating Ash Wednesday bushfires and March floodings.
“Who can it be now?”
28 years later, the 1983 Penfolds Grange Hermitage Bin 95 has sealed its place in history, when in August 2021, Falstaff “came knocking at their door” and gave this vintage a whopping 97 pts.
Home and away, the monumental and impressive 1983 vintage is widely revered, thanks to the “men at work” during that time, who have done a good job in a challenging year at that!
