What to Expect

Australia has certainly made Syrah its own, even bestowing it with a new name: Shiraz. In the warm, dry climate of Australia this noble grape, responsible for some of the grandest wines of France, produces an intense, unique expression that is distinctly Australian. The ripe grapes take on classic notes of black pepper and leather that add depth and complexity to the black cherry and plum fruits on the palate. Australian Shiraz has typically been aged in American Oak barrels which impart the wine with a distinct note of vanilla that can add to the impression of ripeness many of these wines have, but the time in barrel also allows the wines a chance to settle and reveal their rich, voluptuously styled mouthfeel.

Winemakers Notes

Sein Körper ist weich und komplex mit einem reifen und tiefen Fruchtgeschmack, sowie leichten Vanille-Aromen. Im Abgang angenehme Tannine.

Morrell &

French oak notes are just discernable, providing a cedar/charcoal-carbon backdrop against smallberried fruits. The refined and compact Bin 128 sits comfortably and confidently in the mouth with an appealing texture and softened tannins. Berried fruits, stylish oak and lively acidity add to the palate appeal. Balanced and varietal, this Bin 128 is true to its style, region and vintage and will repay medium term cellaring.

Launched in 1962, Penfolds Bin 128 is a regional winethat reflects the unique climate and growing conditionsof South Australia's Coonawarra district and the relativelyelegant style of cool-climate Shiraz.

Shared a bottle while eating a filet the other night. Very tasty, paired exceptionally well with the steak. Easy to drink. Mouth watering aroma, smooth finish.
