About this product

Bin 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 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

    Vibrant and spicy, the flavour-filled Bin 138 offers mouth-watering blackberry and currant flavours nuanced by earthen shades of forest floor, charcuterie, chocolate and game. It’s a complex, juicy, punchy wine - an ideal expression of the time-honoured Barossa blend. This is a style that's attained a peak of popularity - a wine with a very appealing note of rusticity. Penfolds have been onto it for years. A wine to thoroughly enjoy over the next 5 years.
