Penfolds Bin 28 Kalimna Shiraz 2022 75cl

Penfolds Bin 28

A hallmark of the Penfolds collection, showcasing the warm-climate Shiraz that has become synonymous with the brand’s bold, structured reds. Originally sourced from the Barossa Valley, today Bin 28 includes fruit from multiple regions across South Australia, resulting in a full-flavoured, richly textured wine that reflects the power and finesse of Penfolds’ winemaking heritage. Aged in seasoned American oak hogsheads, this vintage continues to evolve beautifully with cellaring, offering both immediate appeal and long-term potential.

• Deep dark cherry-red in colour, indicating concentration and depth.
• The nose opens with ripe plummy fruits, layered with warm, sweet spices such as cinnamon and a whisper of almond.
• Aromas unfold like a French patisserie: creme anglaise, vanilla-laced cannoli, and the hazelnut crunch of a croquembouche.
• Hints of grated chocolate – both dark and white – emerge as the wine breathes.
• On the palate, Penfolds Bin 28 delivers medium-bodied richness with notes of raspberry and chocolate, laced with spice and subtle cola nuances.
• The texture is fleshy and rounded, with a smooth, glycerol-like feel and an expansive mouthfeel.
• Integrated tannins support the palate without dominating, while the oak influence is seamlessly absorbed, offering structure without overt flavour.
• Balanced acidity complements the weight of the wine, suggesting excellent aging potential. Best enjoyed with a bit of patience – a few years in bottle will enhance its complexity.

Penfolds Bin 28 pairs effortlessly with robust, flavour-driven dishes. Its rich fruit and spice elements complement slow-braised beef cheeks, herb-crusted lamb racks, or a classic mushroom risotto. For something indulgent, try it alongside a chargrilled ribeye or duck breast with a plum reduction. The wine’s depth and balance also make it a standout choice with aged cheeses or dark chocolate desserts, reinforcing its versatility at the table.
