BIN 150 MARANANGA SHIRAZ

FIRST VINTAGE

2008.

VARIETY

Shiraz.

ORIGIN

Waltons and Zilm vineyards with grower vineyards at Marananga in the central Barossa Valley, South Australia.

FERMENTATION

Static fermenters with header boards. After basket pressing, components complete fermentation in barrel.

MATURATION

16 to 18 months in new (50 percent) and seasoned American and French oak hogsheads and puncheons (500L).

COMMENTS

Multi-regional blends followed by single-region and single-vineyard wines are the mainstay of the Penfolds House Style. When Bin 150 was released it offered a fourth approach where sub-regional characteristics derived from the geology and micro-climate of the Marananga sub-region of the Barossa Valley underpin the style.

A definitive Penfolds style based on Grange-quality vineyards and central Barossa terroir. The purity of fruit, tannic seam and sympathetic maturation all

deliver a strong individual identity. PETER GAGO,

Chief Winemaker
