Penfolds Bin 28 Shiraz 2021

Australias famed Penfolds winery, based in South Australia, is a cornerstone of the country’s viticultural heritage. Founded in 1844, Penfolds is celebrated for its blending philosophy and multi-regional sourcing, consistently producing wines of balance and longevity. Bin 28, introduced in 1959, showcases warm-climate Shiraz in a bold yet elegant expression.

Wine Description
The 2021 Bin 28 Shiraz pours a deep crimson red, hinting at the richness to come. Aromas leap from the glass with layers of dark cherry, blackberry, chocolate, and spiced plum, complemented by hints of vanilla and cedar from 12 months of American oak maturation. On the palate, this full-bodied wine delivers generous flavours of black fruit, licorice, and mocha, wrapped in fine-grained tannins and supported by vibrant acidity. The texture is velvety, and the finish long and savoury, reflecting the hallmark Penfolds style. Composed entirely of Shiraz from multiple South Australian regions including Barossa Valley, McLaren Vale, and Padthaway, it is best enjoyed from now through 2035.
