Penfolds Bin 138 Grenache Shiraz 2016 750ml

Bin 138 draws its inspiration from the wines of Southern Rhone, where Shiraz, Grenache and Mataro (Mourvedre) are blended in varying proportions to create full-bodied wines possessing rich and heady perfume. Each year fruit for Bin 138 is sourced from Barossa Valley vines and then matured for 12 to 15 months in seasoned oak hogsheads to allow the different varietals to shine through. Bin 138 is defined by its distinctive plum, raspberry pastille and underlying spicy notes. The first vintage release of this varietal blend was the 1992, labelled 'Old Vine Barossa Valley' - it was then elevated to Bin status for the 1998 vintage.
