Penfolds Bin 150 Marananga Shiraz 2019 is a sub-regional expression that is unmistakably Penfolds in character. Conceived from the ancient soils of Marananga, which lie very close to the centre of the Barossa Valley floor – slightly to the North-West, where warm dry conditions and rich red soil provide the backbone to some of the region’s best-known wines. Each release delivers a contemporary shiraz alternative, framed by a mix of oaks; French and American, old and new – crafted in the 'Penfolds way'.

" Deep crimson. Lifted blackberry, chinotto, dark chocolate roasted chestnut marzipan aromas. Beautifully balanced vigorous wine with inky blackberry, elderberry, chinotto, praline flavours, fine looseknit chalky grainy tannins and roasted chestnut, crème brulée, espresso notes. Finishes claret-firm with persistent inky dark fruits. Superb fruit definition, oak complexity and vigour.
A highly individual and beautiful wine with exceptional singularity and stamp of place. "
" Bin 150 has proved a success and this wine will do nothing but cement its reputation. For me, one of the stars of the Collection. The nose explodes with lashings of chocolate, mocha, coffee beans, delicatessen notes, truffles and blackfruits. Good complexity. On the palate, the wine is seamless. Very good length. The balance between acidity, tannins and fruit is spot on. A silky finish and one which lingers beautifully. This is a wine which is undoubtedly appealing now but has another decade plus ahead of it."
" Marananga parades its depth, density and gloss to full effect. The dry and warm 2019 season builds significant presence of black plum and blackberry fruit, fresh liquorice straps and even a spicy fruit compote feel. Firm, fine drying tannins speak both of the season and the house, commanding all the longevity to be expected of both. A powerful if assertive take on Marananga. "
A vivid/shiny/bright blackened-red
Shouts ‘Old Barossa’… Marananga ironstone and weathered blacksmith’s tooling.
Hovering florals and scents of charcuterie.
Cardamom, candied fennel seed and curry seed vigorously cast into an aromatic whirl.
And later - wafts of bread, stalked by roasted nuts, cinnamon.
A Barossa shiraz aromatically attired differently.
Fruits are showcased more on the palate than nose - dark cherry, ripe boysenberry and blackberry immediately noted.
A dried apple skin character mediates at this stage between fruited and non-fruited flavours (coffee grind and soy).
Quite an attaque – an appealing bite/grip rather than the familial Bin 150 lushness and viscosity.
Perhaps partially explained by raspy tannins – graphite, and bright acidity.
Whilst the oak is already ingested, further time to soften in bottle is still sought…
The 2019 growing season was extremely dry and warm. Across 12 months (May – April) Marananga was 45% below the long-term average rainfall. Spring temperatures were slightly below-average driven by lower minimum temperatures including three near 0°C events during September which resulted in some crop loss. Summer was very warm, with December and January well above long-term average driven by a combination of both higher maximum and minimum temperatures. The Zilm vineyard experienced 32 days of temperatures exceeding 35°C. While March was also dry, crucially it was mild allowing for an orderly harvest. Low yields across the Marananga region produced shiraz with ripe firm tannin structure, dark colours and a tremendous depth of flavour.

Conceived from the ancient soils of Marananga, which lies very close to the centre of the Barossa Valley floor – slightly to the north and west, where warm dry conditions and rich red soils, provide the backbone to some of the region’s best known wines. It was first introduced in 2008 in response to increasing availability of exceptional fruit. The style has a beautiful lasting quality and will repay medium to long-term cellaring.
