Penfolds Bin 150 Marananga Shiraz 2010

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'.

"Impenetrable colour, purple hue; this subregional Barossa shiraz exhibits a dark and brooding personality, complex and full of intrigue, with black fruits, ironstone, oak derived spices and a floral lift; the palate is tightly wound, impressively proportioned and, whilst dark and dense, shows plenty of detail and excellent balance. Made for the long haul.
