The Penfolds BIN 28 Shiraz 2023, 14.5% ABV, in a 0.75L bottle, is a powerful and profound Shiraz from Australia that impressively embodies the iconic style of the renowned Penfolds estate. The BIN 28 Shiraz is one of the most traditional wines in the legendary Bin series and was first produced in 1959.

This Australian red wine combines intense fruit, spicy depth, and elegant structure to create a classic example of high-quality Shiraz wines from Australia.

The Shiraz grape variety is particularly powerful and harmonious in this premium red wine. It is aged for twelve months in American hogshead oak barrels, which imparts additional complexity, subtle toasty aromas, and supple tannins to the oak-aged Shiraz. At 14.5% ABV, the Penfolds BIN 28 Shiraz 2023 is full-bodied, dense, and elegantly structured. The combination of dark fruit, spice, and subtly integrated oak makes this red wine from the Barossa Valley an exceptionally versatile food pairing wine with great aging potential until 2045. For lovers of Australian Shiraz, Barossa Valley wine, Penfolds red wine, robust red wine, premium Shiraz, Australian red wine, and oak-aged red wine, this vintage offers an intense and classic taste experience with a long, lingering depth.
