Bin 28 offers a showcase of 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, Bin 28 is a multi-region, multi-vineyard blend, with the Barossa Valley always well represented.

Black olive and chocolate notes resonate with an abundance of fruits, with mouth-coating sweet tannins and balanced acidity. Full and expansive - an immersion of flavour saturation and a textural continuum across the palate.

Critic tasting note: (2016 vintage) "Bin 28 is a multi-regional blend that is a “showcase of warm climate Australian shiraz” and what it can do in American oak. Yes, this will appeal to fans of ripe, oaky reds, but there’s still Penfolds’ hallmark elegance and traditional sensibilities. Blackberry compote and iodine combine with espresso and vanilla from the oak, which is harmoniously integrated at this stage. It’s not as powerful as you might think at first sniff, more medium-bodied than full, with grainy tannins from the wood, and moderate acidity. I find the fruit character already slightly evolved, so I’m hesitant to recommend this for the cellar, but it makes for a fine pour now. (Geoffrey Moss MW)." - 90/100, Gismondi on Wine
