ABOUT THIS WINE
Penfolds Bin 28 Shiraz has a history dating back to 1959, initially named after the Barossa Valley's Kalimna vineyard. Today, it is a multi-regional, multi-vineyard blend from South Australia, with the Barossa Valley consistently well-represented. This approach allows Penfolds to craft a wine that embodies the characteristics of warm-climate Shiraz. The winery itself was founded in 1844 by Dr. Christopher Rawson Penfold and his wife Mary, and it is now part of Treasury Wine Estates, known for its iconic cuvées and a blend of tradition and innovation.

WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Penfolds Bin 28 Shiraz is produced using a multi-regional blending strategy, drawing fruit from various vineyards across South Australia, with a consistent representation from the Barossa Valley. Fermentation occurs in stainless steel tanks, a technique that helps preserve the wine's fruit characteristics. Following fermentation, the wine is matured for 12 months in American oak barrels, which contributes to its structure and complexity. The 2022 vintage was influenced by diverse climatic conditions across the sourcing regions, impacting the final profile of the grapes.
