Penfolds Bin 150 Marananga Shiraz 2021

Shiraz | Barossa Valley, South Australia, Australia

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’.

Colour

Dense black core. Deep purple rim.

Nose

A generous decant is encouraged to let the aromatic unfurl. First noted are the dark, purple fruits. Fresh satsuma plums and blackcurrant, with sweet notes of cinnamon fruit bun. Preserved plum jam and quince paste aromatics add to the allure. There are exotic notes from the spice cupboard: juniper berries, dried rosemary, sweet paprika and bay leaves… aromatics redolent of Spanish tapas: patatas bravas, duck paté and cured jamon. A hydrocarbon/coal dust note provides a regional cue, infused by ironstone/limestone minerality.

Palate

A beautifully balanced wine. Sweet and savoury nuances in perfect yin and yang. First admired, sweet/tart plum succulence. Crème brûlée and pannacotta creaminess add weight to the palate. Childhood memories of humbug confectionery are easily evoked. The tannins are fine and chalky, perhaps influenced by Marananga’s ironstone and limestone rich soils. Minerality is apparent, with a fine steely, cranberry like acidity holding court.

“ONE OF THE STRONGEST RELEASES SINCE THE INAUGURAL 2008 VINTAGE.” – MATT WOO, PENFOLDS RED WINEMAKER
