Closure: Cork
Bin 150 is a newer addition to the Penfolds lineup, with its first production in 2008. This wine is exclusively sourced from the esteemed Marananga sub-region in the Barossa, known for its ancient soils that contribute to some of the area's finest wines. Bin 150 usually showcases the sub-region's hallmark features: deep, saturated colors, a dark fruit profile, and ripe tannins. These characteristics are further enhanced by Penfolds' unique vinification techniques and the use of hogsheads and puncheons.
The 2018 Bin 150 was aged for 12 months in American oak (25% new, 25% 1 year old) and French oak (25% new, 25% 1 year old) hogsheads and puncheons.
"A defining Barossa Shiraz, instantly recognizable for its sub-regional character and authoritative Penfolds stamp." — Nick Ryan, Penfolds Rewards of Patience tasting panel member.
"Deep, dark red. The nose offers an instant formic lift, revealing a blend of African and Middle Eastern spices—cumin and dried fennel—with hints of soaked dill-pickle juice. While less Marananga blueberry and juniper notes are present, various other Shiraz nuances emerge to entice. The palate features a boysenberry and mulberry slurry, almost coulis-like, with touches of cola and creamy soda. Prominent tannins enhance a textural appeal, akin to a svelte film of raspberry seeds. Supportive oak adds weight, contributing structurally without overwhelming the flavor profile. An ironstone/ferrous note is evident on the back-palate. Best enjoyed from 2023 to 2035."
Vintage Conditions: The season began with dry conditions during vine dormancy and early growth, with Marananga experiencing significantly below-average autumn rainfall, a trend continuing into early winter. June saw only a quarter of the average rainfall, but the latter half of winter was wetter, providing good soil moisture for the growing season. Winter temperatures were below average but warmed up considerably in spring, accelerating vine growth and flowering. Summer remained dry, with no major rain events, leading to a heat spike around veraison that delayed harvest by about a week. Warm autumn weather created an Indian summer, offering ideal conditions for ripening grapes and resulting in a high-quality vintage." — Penfolds
