About this product
Dry, Full Bodied style of GSM / MSG / SGMBarossa Valley, AustraliaBin 138 draws its inspiration from the wines of Southern Rhône, where shiraz, grenache and mataro (mourvèdre) are blended in varying proportions to create full-bodied wines possessing rich and heady perfume. Each year fruit for Bin 138 is sourced from old Barossa Valley vines (some more than 100 years old).
Bright red garnet in colour, with raspberry-leaf and pastille fruits on fruits on the nose supported by discrete hints of boot polish and stewed meats. The palate is juicy, dense, and more-ish - ironstone, fresh red and dark berries, permeated by super-fine tannins.

Full bodied red wines have a noticeably textural mouthfeel with bold, complex flavours. Often deeply coloured.
Dry wines have no trace of sweetness at all.

An outstanding example of the the traditional Barossa triumvirate with all of the opulence, spice and charcuterie that are loved in this blend. There's the richness of ripe, dark berries, the chocolate and earthy notes from the soil, the roasted plum and berries, and dark, warm spices from the fruit all wrapped up in one generous and heart warming wine.
