A cool-climate Penfolds Shiraz from Coonawarra’s red terra rossa soils: peppery, savoury and medium-bodied, with fine chalky tannins. Made every vintage since 1962, and scored up to 95 points by critics for the 2018. Critic scores (2018): 95 Tony Love · 94 James Halliday · 94 James Suckling · 93 Wine Spectator Wine at a Glance Producer: Penfolds (est. 1844) Country: Australia Region: Coonawarra, South Australia Vintage: 2018 Grape: 100% Shiraz Style: Dry red, medium-bodied Oak: New and seasoned French oak hogsheads Alcohol: 14.5% ABV Size: 750ml Tasting Profile: Medium-bodied and well-proportioned, yet not big. Layered. Appetising, juicy and laced with cracked black pepper, red spices (Hungarian paprika) and caraway. A skerrick of cherrywood oak and brick-dust tannins, verging on chalky. Fruits are evident, yet the savouries beckon greater attention (glazed meats, green olive, capers). Yet another manifestation of cooler-climate French oak-matured Shiraz, channelled via a Penfolds winemaking lens. Food Pairing: Made for meat off the grill — nyama choma, rib-eye or sirloin steak, lamb chops, glazed pork. Mushroom risotto or lasagne for a meat-free pairing. Cheese: aged cheddar or Gouda. Serving: Serve at 16–18°C; 20 minutes in the fridge in warm weather. Decant 30 minutes to open the spice and perfume.

With each vintage the cool-climate Bin 128 Coonawarra Shiraz provides a counterpoint to the richer, warm-climate Kalimna Bin 28 Shiraz. If Bin 28 is the bear hug, Bin 128 is the firm handshake: more perfume, more spice, more restraint. “Balanced. Poised. Proportioned. Essence of Coonawarra shiraz framed in French oak.” — Peter Gago, Penfolds Chief Winemaker, on the 2018. Awards & Recognition (2018 vintage) 95 points , Tony Love 94 points , James Halliday 94 points , James Suckling 94 points , Huon Hooke 93 points , Mary-Ann Worobiec, Wine Spectator 93 points , Tyson Stelzer About Penfolds & Bin 128 Penfolds was founded in 1844 in South Australia and is now one of the most celebrated wine names in the world, the house behind Grange. Bin 128 is sourced from the unique terra rossa soils of Coonawarra and has used that region’s Shiraz since the inaugural 1962 vintage. It is one of the few Penfolds reds matured exclusively in French oak. Serving & Cellaring Serve at 16–18°C; decant 30 minutes. Drinking well now, with the structure to keep developing for years.
