Penfolds Bin 28 Kalimna Shiraz is the archetypal warm climate Australian shiraz - ripe, robust and generously flavoured. First made in 1959, Bin 28 is named after the famous Barossa Valley Kalimna vineyard purchased by Penfolds in 1945 and from which the wine was originally sourced. Today, Kalimna Bin 28 is a multi-region, multi-vineyard blend, with the Barossa Valley always well represented.

"Medium to full-bodied, opulent and densely packed with black fruits and savoury layers, it has a solid frame of rounded tannins and wonderful freshness, finishing long."  Lisa Perrotti-Brown MW

The Bin 28 Kalimna was sourced from vineyards in McLaren Vale, Barossa Valley, Padthaway, Wrattonbully and Robe. The wine was matured for 12 months in American oak hogsheads.

"Medium-deep crimson. Intense black cherry and blackberry with liquorice notes. Lovely expressive wine with buoyant creamy cassis and blackberry fruits, fine velvety textures and long inky finish. Rich and flavourful with attractive vigour and persistency. On the middle-weighted side. Drink now to 2035.

Vintage Conditions: Autumn and early winter rainfall were above the long-term average. Rain stopped abruptly in early August with only light showers observed throughout spring. Low top soil moisture halted canopy growth early in the season giving vines an open canopy. Warm and dry conditions continued throughout the season which resulted in rapid grapevine growth and early flowering. February brought weekend heat spikes, pushing mean maximum temperatures well above the average resulting in early ripening and harvest."  Penfolds
