Created in 1962, Penfolds Bin 128 is a regional wine that reflects the unique climate and growing conditions of South Australia’s Coonawarra district and the relatively elegant style of cool-climate Shiraz. From the 1980 vintage, French oak replaced American, highlighting the pepper, spice and floral characteristics that define this style. Since this time, greater attention to fruit flavour ripeness has structurally resulted in a more complete and complex wine style.

The storied vineyards of France famously gave Max Schubert his inspiration for Grange. With this release we head back to France for the inaugural FWT 543 release. A classic Australian blend of structural Cabernet Sauvignon and rich, textural Syrah, reimagined in a French context. Fruit sweetness intertwines with brioche oak and lively acidity for a sensory delight.

First made in 1959, Bin 28 was originally named after the famous Kalimna vineyard in the Barossa Valley purchased by Penfolds in 1945. Today, Bin 28 offers a showcase of warm-climate Australian shiraz – ripe, robust and generously flavoured. Classic berry fruits combine beautifully with mocha, chocolate, espresso flavours, mid-palate richness and juicy acidity.
