Description
The wine has flavours of red cherries, oak, with a silky texture and a clean finish.
There are three distinct styles of Penfolds red wines. Single-vineyard (Magill Estate Shiraz, Kalimna Block 42 Cabernet Sauvignon), single-region (Bin 128 Coonawarra Shiraz, RWT Barossa Shiraz) and multi-regional blends (Grange, Bin 707). The Bin 150 Marananga Shiraz delivers a fourth approach, with Penfolds showing its hand at sub-regional expression. Conceived from the ancient soils of Marananga, which lies very close to the centre of the Barossa Valley floor- slightly to the north and west, where warm dry conditions and rich red soils, provide the backbone to some of the regionâ≢s best known wines. Standing on its own two feet, this release delivers a contemporary Shiraz alternative, framed by a mix of oaks; French and American, old and new- crafted in accordance with the traditional Penfolds method.

â∠ÂShouts out Western Barossa. This Shiraz, spawn out of the new Millennium, has quickly established its own following- It's not a mini St Henri or junior RWT. It is Bin 150 Shiraz, from Marananga. â∠ÂMaturation in 500-litre puncheons is starting to make its desired stylistic Bin 150 point-of-differenceââ¬æââˆ- Peter Gago, Penfolds Chief Winemaker
