Penfolds Bin 28 Shiraz 2020 (2022 Release)
Bin 28 offers a showcase of warm climate Australian shiraz – ripe, robust and generously flavoured. First made in 1959, Bin 28 was original named after the famous Barossa Valley Kalimna vineyard purchased by Penfolds in 1945 and from which the wine was originally sourced.
Today, Bin 28 is a multi-region, multi-vineyard blend, with the Barossa Valley always well represented.
VINEYARD REGION: McLaren Vale, Barossa Valley, Padthaway, Clare Valley.
