Australia’s most famous winery, Penfolds is renowned for their meticulous attention to detail and top wines that can mature for decades. Bin 150 is a bang-on classic. After analysing data, the team discovered that the hamlet of Marananga in the Barossa had exceptional red-soil terroir which yields fruit with incredible depth of flavour and superb structure. Hence the release of Bin 150. This new vintage was awarded an outstanding 96pts by James Suckling and 95 from Wine Advocate. Aged for 12 months in half and half French and American oak, 50% of that new, it has tremendous depth of flavour and complexity that ensures this powerful Shiraz will become even more lavish with age. For drinking now, decant early. A great match with roast meats.
