The Wine

The 2017 Penfolds Bin 150 is a distinctive expression of Barossa Valley Shiraz, sourced specifically from the subregion of Marananga, known for its rich, ironstone soils and powerful fruit character.

Tasting Notes

Nose: Aromas of blackberry compote, dark plum, and blueberry, laced with anise and exotic spice. Subtle hints of vanilla and cedar from oak integration.

Palate: Full-bodied and deeply concentrated, with layers of black fruit, cocoa and earthy undertones. The tannins are ripe and assertive, providing definition and length without overwhelming the palate.

Finish: Long, plush, and spiced, with lingering notes of dark chocolate, and savoury herbs.
