Tasting Note

Purple in colour with a crimson rim, this wine opens with vibrant Grenache-driven fruit, immediately evoking a sensory journey to an Arabian spice souk—whole pimento, fenugreek, pink peppercorns, anise, and musk intertwine with lifted notes of cola, balsamic-glazed ham, poached quince, sloe berry, and a hint of Campari. Layers of German Schwarzwälder cake and tea-smoked duck add depth and intrigue. On the palate, the blend of varietals works in seamless harmony, delivering a juicy yet precise fruit profile with flavours of lingonberry, loganberry, olallieberry, and red currant. Savoury notes of green tomato salsa and lemon myrtle olives provide contrast, while bright acidity and fine tannins support a beautifully structured wine that is already drinking well and offers great versatility with food.

Product Notes

Penfolds Bin 138 Grenache Shiraz Mataro is an exquisite blend originated from Australia's Barossa Valley. Its rich ruby hue foreshadows the complex palate of red fruit, harmoniously combined with spicy notes of anise and herbaceous undertones. Crafted from Grenache, Shiraz, and Mataro grapes, its taste profile builds a beautifully balanced structure of medium-bodied richness and firm tannins. Ageing in seasoned oak barrels imparts a sophisticated smoky character. This wine exhibits an impressive longevity potential, making it a desirable choice for those seeking a cellar-worthy blend. It pairs perfectly with robust meat dishes, assuring an enlivened culinary experience.
