SKU: PEN138GSM17
Penfolds Bin 138 draws its inspiration from the wines of Southern Rhône, where shiraz, grenache and mataro (mourvèdre) are blended in varying proportions to create full-bodied wines possessing rich and heady perfume. Each year fruit for Bin 138 is sourced from old Barossa Valley vines (some more than 100 years old) and then matured for 12 to 15 months in seasoned oak hogsheads to allow the different varietals to shine through. The first vintage release of this varietal blend was the 1992, labelled Old Vine Barossa Valley it was then elevated to Bin status with the 1998 vintage.

”68% shiraz, 23% grenache, 9% mataro, matured in French and American oak. Very much in line with prior vintages. Penfolds' richness and depth. Needs some time to loosen up.”
