Penfolds Bin 138 Shiraz Mataro 750ml

DESCRIPTION
Penfolds Bin 138 Shiraz Mataro - This Australian wine a traditional regional blend based on old vines planted as far back as 1895. The Penfolds Bin 138 was born in 1992, and is inspired by the wines of the southern Rhone, where the grapes of Shiraz, Grenache and Mataro (Mourvèdre) are used in blends to create full-bodied wines with a rich aromatic profile. Each year fruit for Bin 138 is sourced from Barossa Valley vines and then matured for 12 months in seasoned and a small proportion of new oak hogsheads to allow the different varietals to shine through. The first vintage release of this varietal blend was the 1992, labelled ‘Old Vine Barossa Valley’ – it was then elevated to Bin status with the 1998 vintage.

TASTING NOTES
This red wine reveals aromas of ripe red fruit, light balsamic notes, and herbaceous hints on the nose with earthy elements of Barossa and the sweet spices abound on the palate and perfectly balanced by juicy succulence and fresh acidity.
