✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Penfolds Bin 138 draws inspiration from the classic southern Rhône blend, adapted to the unique terroir of South Australia's Barossa Valley. First released with the 1992 vintage under the name 'Old Vine Barossa Valley', this wine was created by Penfolds to showcase the exceptional quality of heritage Grenache, Shiraz, and Mataro (Mourvèdre) vines, some of which are over a century old. Unlike many of Penfolds' heavily oaked flagships, Bin 138 is matured in seasoned French and American oak hogsheads to allow the vibrant, spicy fruit characteristics of the old vines to take center stage. Each component brings a distinct element: Grenache offers perfume and sweet spice, Shiraz provides rich plum fruit and structure, while Mataro contributes earthy complexity and savory depth.
🍾 Om vinhuset / producenten
Penfolds blev grundlagt i 1844 af dr. Christopher Rawson Penfold og hans hustru Mary på Magill Estate i South Australia og er i dag et af Australiens ældste og mest ikoniske vinhuse. Ejendommen opnåede legendarisk international anerkendelse i 1950'erne under den visionære chefvinmager Max Schubert, som skabte Penfolds Grange og revolutionerede landets vinfremstilling. Drevet af en berømt filosofi om at blande på tværs af regioner og druesorter udvælger Penfolds enestående druer fra historiske australske terroirs – herunder Barossa Valley, McLaren Vale og Coonawarra – samt fra udvalgte internationale topområder. Vinhuset er verdenskendt for kraftfulde, upåklageligt strukturerede og særdeles lagringsværdige vine anført af flagskibet Grange, Bin 707 Cabernet Sauvignon og den berømmede Bin-serie.
