2016 Bin 150 Marananga Shiraz

Still enjoying single-digit birthdays, this sub-regional style has benefited from 'overnight' recognition and acceptance. Humbly appreciative.

Savoury, ironclad Barossa tannins equals longevity. Bin 150 Marananga fruits, a silent partner.

Unlike the Kalimna Shiraz, which is a multiregional blend, the 2016 Bin 150 Marananga Shiraz comes from that specific subregion of the Barossa Valley. It's a clear step up and a lovely wine, with bold berry fruit flavors framed by cedar and vanilla.

It's full-bodied and plush, with that generous Barossa Valley character married to the dense Penfolds house style. Not exported to the U.S.
