Bin 150 Marananga Shiraz is a sub-regional expression that is unmistakably Penfolds in character. Conceived from the ancient soils around the township of Marananga, located very close to the centre of the Barossa Valley. The warm dry conditions, rich red clay and sandy loam soils provide the backbone to some of the Barossa Valley’s best-known wines. Bin 150 is a contemporary Shiraz alternative, a sub-regional offer framed by a mix of oaks; French and American, old and new, small and large – crafted the ‘Penfolds way’.

The Marananga region Shiraz grapes flourished beyond expectations this year—larger berries basking under excellent late-season growing conditions that resulted in yields that defied early season predictions. Bin 150 encapsulates this success story: opulent flavours, ripe tannins, and a bright acidity that promises longevity.

"A palate staining deep purple, midnight blue colour that stays with you long after the first glass. The immediate impression of Marananga shiraz is always that impressive, penetrating colour. Voluptuous and generous remain the sub-region’s shiraz hallmarks once again promoted by the maker with an extra something, a savoury influence that brings added complexity. Black fruited and fragrant with blueberry and bramble fruits, liquorice and spice aplenty. Dense and powerfully built, the ’22 is well structured throughout in a lacework of bold tannins. Concentrated black and blue fruits layered with spice, aniseed, earth with meaty, charcuterie overtones balanced with a fine oak nuance. American oak joins French for this wine and it soaks it all up. Length is good. 96 points."
"The wine is seamless in structure with a supple texture, great intensity, serious length and silky tannins. This will stun winelovers over the next twenty years. 96 points."
"The supple structure and red fruits depth of Marananga shiraz are well married to the milk chocolate of French and American oak, given life and lift by the cool nights of the great 2022 harvest. Firm, fine tannins flow through a long and integrated finish. The mood of Marananga loves the brightness of the cool seasons, and this is another of the greats. 95 points."
Dark purple with garnet and magenta edges.
A medley of aromas that are both opulent and elegantly defined. The richness of fresh black liquorice is amplified by the piquant formic acid lift that Penfolds is celebrated for. This vintage carries the hallmark Marananga signatures of ripe black olives and dark plum fruits, each scent meticulously entwined with the distinctive notes of cordite and dried sage. A true sensory homage to the ancient soils of Marananga.
Ironstone and ferric elements meld in seamless unity, crafting a foundation with gravitas and depth. Black pepper interlaces with exotic spices, while caper brine imparts a striking piquancy. These savoury tones coalesce with the sweetness of Crème Brûlée and the warmth of sandalwood. The texture is luxurious – plush, intricately woven, creating a tapestry that envelops the palate.
The Barossa Valley was blessed with near average winter rainfall. However, as the season transitioned into spring, August and September brought less precipitation than usual, resulting in root-zone soil moisture below average as the vines approached budburst. Despite this initial dryness, several intense low-pressure systems in October replenished soil moisture levels significantly. These systems also ushered in windier conditions that, while challenging for flowering, ultimately concentrated the fruit by reducing yields. Above-average November rains gave way to a typically dry December, setting up a summer growing season characterised by only a handful of hot days—11 exceeding 35°C—and none breaching the 40°C mark. Harvest time was graced with dry yet moderately warm weather and an appreciable diurnal temperature variation that nurtured sugar accumulation and phenolic development without risking water stress on the vines. These climate influences allowed for harvesting at precisely the right moment when ripeness and freshness intersected.
