A long and illustrious history, boasts one of the very first Penfold Bin wines. The successful styling commands universal appeal due to the intense definition of fruit, a ripe, fleshy palate structure and great generosity of flavour. Bin 28 enjoys a reputation as an immensely satisfying, early drinking style of Shiraz, yet it is also highly valued by collectors for its ability to mature gracefully and offer potential for appreciation on the secondary market. Bin 28 has twice claimed Red Wine of the Year at the prestigious London International Wine Challenge

Bin 28 Kalimna sits highly within the hierarchy of Penfolds, it has grown to become an Australian classic. First made in 1959, Bin 28 is named after the famous Barossa Valley Kalimna Vineyard acquired by Penfolds in 1945. Today, Bin 28 is a multi region, multi vineyard blend with components from Langhorne Creek, Upper Adelaide, Barossa, McLaren Vale and Limestone Coast. Grapes were picked at optimum maturity to excellent flavour profiles and fine tannin structures, then treated to inoculation and vinification in tanks with wooden header boards. Bin 28 was matured for twelve months in seasoned American oak hogsheads, a minor component in large oak vat formats.

Dark plum red in colour. Assertive chocolate and spice, shrouded in a freshly mixed fruitcake mixture of Irish Christmas cake. From out of an aromatic mist, scents of olive tapenade, creamy mustard seed and almond may be detected. Oak? Not likely. Evenly weighted across the palate, facilitated by mouth coating tannins. A mix of cooked beetroot and liqueur chocolate are intertwined with dark berried fruits. Maturation in older oak has sensitively assimilated all flavour and structural elements, sans intrusion. A fully engaging sensory experience expressing the assertiveness of a distinguished Shiraz wine with fine balance and vivacity, indelibly stamped with the marque of Penfolds
