✨ Technical Specifications
Penfolds Bin 150 Marananga Shiraz represents a compelling, terroir-driven exploration of a single sub-region within the iconic Barossa Valley. First released with the 2008 vintage, this wine shines a spotlight on Marananga, situated in the heart of the valley, where ancient red soils and a warm, dry climate yield Shiraz of extraordinary depth and structural focus. While Penfolds is historically famous for its multi-regional blending philosophy, Bin 150 is a deliberate departure, celebrating the microclimate and unique character of this specific pocket of South Australia. The wine is traditionally aged in a combination of French and American oak using both hogsheads and larger puncheons to frame its intense dark fruit profiles, savory complexity, and fine-grained tannins, offering a modern yet deeply rooted expression of classic Barossa Shiraz.
🍾 About the Producer
Founded in 1844 by Dr. Christopher Rawson Penfold and his wife Mary at the Magill Estate in South Australia, Penfolds is one of Australia's oldest and most iconic wine producers. The estate achieved legendary international acclaim during the 1950s under visionary chief winemaker Max Schubert, who created Penfolds Grange and revolutionized the country's winemaking techniques. Driven by a celebrated philosophy of multi-regional and multi-varietal blending, Penfolds sources exceptional fruit across historic Australian terroirs—such as the Barossa Valley, McLaren Vale, and Coonawarra—as well as select premier global regions. The house is universally revered for powerful, impeccably structured, and long-lived wines, led by its flagship Grange, Bin 707 Cabernet Sauvignon, and celebrated Bin series.
