Penfolds Bin 150 Marananga Shiraz [750ML]

Description

The success of Penfolds has been driven by the generations of visionaries and innovators. From the beginning in 1844 to today, the merging of science, art and innovation has driven Penfolds to become one of Australia's most famed and respected winemakers.

Bin 150 was first introduced in 2008 in response to increasing availability of exceptional fruit. The style has a beautiful lasting quality and will repay medium to long-term cellaring.Bin 150 Marananga Shiraz is a sub-regional expression that is unmistakably Penfolds in character. Conceived from the ancient soils of Marananga, which lie very close to the centre of the Barossa Valley floor – slightly to the North-West, where warm dry conditions and rich red soil provide the backbone to some of the region’s best-known wines. Each release delivers a contemporary shiraz alternative, framed by a mix of oaks; French and American, old and new – crafted in the 'Penfolds way'.

A vivid/shiny/bright blackened-red.

TO THE NOSE

Hovering florals and scents of charcuterie; cardamom, candied fennel seed and curry seed that open up wafts of bread, roasted nuts, and cinnamon.

TO THE PALATE

Dark cherry, ripe boysenberry and blackberry, followed by dried apple skin character. Bright acidity.

TO THE END

Silky, lingering finish with notes of dark fruits.
