Product description
Bin 28 offers a showcase of warm climate Australian shiraz – ripe, robust and generously flavoured. First made in 1959, Bin 28 was originally named after the famous Barossa Valley Kalimna vineyard purchased by Penfolds in 1945 and from which the wine was originally sourced. Today, Bin 28 is a multi-region, multi-vineyard blend, with the Barossa Valley always well represented.
The palate texture is suggestive of cocoa powder while being framed by just enough savoury oak to add structure without dominating.
Leading with black fruit characters, it progresses with dark plum and hints of gamey richness (roasted venison). Baking spice notes and
a delicate icing sugar dusting add nuance without tipping into overt sweetness. Lively acidity carries through from start to finish,
perfectly accompanied by fine structural tannins that contribute to an enduring balance. Despite its depth and layers, it carries itself
with typical Bin 28 ease; its complexity is apparent yet approachable.
