2018 Bin 138 Shiraz Mataro Grenache

A complete wine. Substantial. So authentically Barossa. One to watch.

Peter Gago, Penfolds chief winemaker

92/100

Aged in older oak, the 2018 Bin 138 Shiraz Grenache Mataro has benefited from a superb Barossa vintage, bursting with raspberries, strawberries and cherries.

Ripe, round and seductive, yet with enough stuffing to age 5-7 years (and perhaps more), this full-bodied, supple blend of 68% Shiraz, 22% Grenache and 10% Mataro is one of the values in the Penfolds stable this year, finishing with hints of mint and dark chocolate.
