Penfolds Bin 28 Shiraz
Penfolds Bin 28 Shiraz is a bold and expressive Australian red wine that showcases the richness of warm climate Shiraz. First made in 1959, Bin 28 remains one of Penfolds’ most recognisable wines, celebrated for its ripe fruit intensity, generous flavour, and unmistakable house style. While originally linked to the famous Kalimna vineyard in Barossa Valley, today it is crafted as a multi-region, multi-vineyard blend with Barossa always strongly represented.
The 2023 vintage highlights the power and polish of Penfolds Bin 28, balancing immediate drinking appeal with structure for further ageing. This full-bodied Shiraz opens with an aromatic bouquet of baking spices, sweet custard, tea cake warmth, berry compote, roasted meat, and blueberry pie. On the palate, layers of elderberry, blueberry, bilberry, and poached plum unfold with exotic cassia bark spice, savoury depth, and luxurious chocolate-like tannins. Hints of tomato consommé, olive tapenade, and ferrous minerality add complexity and a distinctly mature, confident finish.
Rich, robust, and generously flavoured, Penfolds Bin 28 Shiraz is ideal for lovers of classic Australian Shiraz seeking dark fruit concentration, savoury nuance, and cellar-worthy structure. It pairs beautifully with grilled meats, roasted lamb, braised beef, and hearty dishes.
