2024 Penfolds Bin 128 Coonawarra Shiraz - (6x75cl) In Bond Only* - Stock Arriving October 2026

"There is a wild nature here that belies the origins of this wine.  There is also more amplitude than expected and more fruit timbre, too.  Considerable depth of spice and iron are evident, and this adds ripe tobacco notes and fertile earth tones which further sweeten the experience, making this a thoroughly exotic Bin 128, and a wine that already appeals greatly in the glass!  I must admit to being amazed, not least when considering the price of this wine (it usually hangs around the £40-mark).  This is the wine to select between Bins 28 and 128 for early consumption and wine nerdiness, as it shows a very exciting side to Coonawarra.  Peter Gago informed me that there is some fruit from the great Block 5 plot in here.  This score reflects just how much I adore this wine."  18.5 Matthew Jukes

With each vintage release, the cool-climate Bin 128 Coonawarra Shiraz provides an interesting counterpoint to the more opulent and richly concentrated warm-climate Bin 28 Shiraz. Bin 128 comprises fruit sourced from the unique terra rossa red clay over limestone soils of Coonawarra – a region that exemplifies the perfume, transparency, and seductive nature of cool-climate red table wines.  
Coonawarra has remained the source of Shiraz fruit for Bin 128 since the inaugural release of the 1962 vintage. To further enhance the regional qualities of Bin 128, the wine is matured in a mixture of new and seasoned French oak hogsheads, élevage – refined during the 1980s when the transition was made from American to French oak.
