Since its debut in 1959, Penfolds Bin 28 has been a hallmark of warm-climate Australian Shiraz, renowned for its richness and generosity. Originally sourced from the famed Kalimna Vineyard in the Barossa Valley, it has evolved into a multi-region blend, with Barossa fruit continuing to shape its unmistakable style. The 2023 vintage delivers layers of blueberry, elderberry and poached plum, wrapped in notes of cinnamon, baking spices and a hint of blueberry pie. Savoury touches of roasted meat and olive tapenade add depth, while fine chocolate-like tannins and subtle minerality bring structure and length. Rich, generous and beautifully balanced, it's a classic Bin 28 that drinks superbly now or will reward careful cellaring through to 2043.

Sourdough notes bring a rustic edge which complement the lush profiles of plum fruits, blackberry, mulberry, wild cherries and more distinctly tart morello cherries.
