Penfolds Bin 150 Marananga Shiraz 2015

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'.

"Deep crimson. Aromatic wine with fresh dark plum, blackberry aromas with praline, mocha, herb garden notes. Generous and supple, almost plush in dimension, with sweet dark plum fruits, elderberry, liquorice notes, fine chalky chocolaty textures and underlying sweet vanilla hint marzipan oak notes. Finishes chalky firm, long and sweet. Archetypal Penfolds wine with superb ripe fruit expression, oak complexity and strong Barossa voice of place. Really good wine with the density, richness and balance to last the distance." 95 Points - Andrew Caillard MW
