Flavours of boysenberry, mulberry, cola and creamy soda. Prominent tannins augment and propel and impression of a film of raspberry seeds, to heighten textural appeal. Supportive oak adds weight - contributing structurally yet hesitating to add to the flavour pool.
Goes great with braised beef, cheese, chicken, duck, grilled meats, roasted leg of lamb.
Bin 150 Marananga Shiraz is a sub-regional expression that is unmistakably Penfolds in character. Conceived from the ancient soils of Marananga, which lie very close to the centre of the Barossa Valley floor – slightly to the North West, where warm dry conditions and rich red soil provide the backbone to some of the region’s best-known wines.
Each release delivers a contemporary shiraz alternative, framed by a mix of oaks; French and American, old and new – crafted in accordance with the traditional Penfolds method.
“A defining Barossa Shiraz, instantly recognisable for its sub-regionalcharacter and authoritative Penfolds stamp.”
