Product Description:
A benchmark example of warm-climate Australian Shiraz, Penfolds Bin 28 Shiraz 2022 delivers the generosity and structure that have defined this label since its first release in 1959. Sourced from key regions across South Australia, including McLaren Vale, Barossa Valley, Padthaway and Wrattonbully, it reflects the classic Penfolds house style: layered fruit, savoury depth and polished oak integration.
The 2022 vintage was matured for 12 months in American oak hogsheads (around 10% new), allowing the dark, plush fruit to take centre stage. Expect rich black plum, blackberry and liquorice, framed by chocolate, spice and a faintly gamey edge. Firm but ripe tannins and a lively acid line provide both early approachability and a long cellaring horizon. Presented here in a premium gift box, this is a timeless South Australian Shiraz built for both immediacy and longevity.
