Bin 150 Marananga Shiraz is a sub-regional expression that is unmistakably Penfolds in character. Standing on its own two feet, this release delivers a contemporary Shiraz alternative, framed by a mix of oaks; French and American, old and new – crafted in accordance with the traditional Penfolds method.
TASTING NOTES: Very deep dark red. On the nose sub-region instantly ID’d – voluminous blue fruits and giveaway juniper. More than just ‘earthy’ – freshly tilled earth, coal/tar dust, gritty. Elemental. Tasting at this stage of bottle maturation – an ever so subtle hint of pâté topped with fortified gelatine. Well, maybe not so subtle! On the Palate, crunchy riberry, deemed a native superfood and often eaten raw – reportedly possessing ‘a refreshing spicy flavour, with a hint of clove and cinnamon’. More familial, more primary – blueberry, glazed black plum and fig. Pronounced and omnipresent oak – still sensitively evoking a (teacake sponge) sweetness.
