2012 Bin 150 Marananga Shiraz

The impact of incorporating puncheons into the maturation mix is paying dividends… and naturally helping Bin 150 to find its very own stylistic niche.

Sets itself apart from a perception held by some of many Barossa Shiraz's – this marque is comfortably focussed, sophisticated, measured.

A Bin still unknown to many… acquire before the word gets out.

91+/100

Very deep purple black in color, the 2012 Bin 150 Marananga Shiraz is profoundly scented of blackcurrant cordial, black forest cake and smoky bacon along with some earthiness.

Medium-bodied and quite packed with flavor, it has medium to firm grainy tannins and shows a slight menthol lift in finish.
