Penfolds Bin 150 Marananga Shiraz 2018 – A powerful, full-bodied Shiraz with layers of blackberry, dark plum and chocolate, lifted by notes of black pepper and mocha oak. The palate is dense and structured, showing velvety tannins and a long, opulent finish typical of Marananga’s rich Barossa terroir.
Penfolds Bin 138 Shiraz Grenache Mataro 2018 – Fragrant and expressive, this Rhône style blend offers aromas of red cherry, raspberry, and dried herbs with a hint of spice. Juicy and medium-bodied on the palate, it balances vibrant fruit with savoury earthiness and supple tannins for an elegant, lingering finish.
