Penfolds Bin 128 Shiraz 750mL

Penfolds Bin 128 Shiraz is a celebrated red wine from the Coonawarra region of South Australia, renowned for its distinctive terra rossa soils. First introduced in 1962, it showcases the vibrant characteristics of Shiraz grapes cultivated in this unique terroir. The wine is matured for a year in French oak barrels, with a portion being new oak, which enhances its structure and complexity. The Bin 128 Shiraz is notable for its medium to full body, combining flavors of fresh mulberries, cedar, and subtle charcuterie spices, with hints of licorice and mint. It exhibits a classic Coonawarra profile, blending elegance and depth, and pairs beautifully with hearty dishes like beef and venison. The 2021 vintage, for example, has been praised for its balance and potential for aging through 2035. A great choice for Shiraz enthusiasts, Bin 128 consistently earns high critical acclaim and remains a testament to Penfolds' winemaking excellence.
