Wine Summary Image

With a pedigree dating back to 1959, Bin 28 is a classic Penfolds style developed under the late Max Schubert's leadership. The wine took its name from the famous Kalimna Vineyard, purchased by Penfolds in 1945.

Today's Bin 28 is a multi-district blend, with the Barossa Valley always represented. Shiraz takes centre stage, with oak in support. The best vintages have remarkable longevity.

Expert Reviews

93 Points. Campbell Mattinson. 9 May 2009

This review is from a complete tasting of Penfolds Bin 28 Kalimna Shiraz for the Penfolds Rewards of Patience.

Gosh this looks in good shape. Mint married into blackcurrant married into rounds of acidity married into cedar and fresh leather. Sitting pretty, making you wait. Expressive. Ten years before it sings to its full potential.

95 Points. Jeremy Oliver

Winery Tasting Notes

Notes Image

COLOUR:Deep red.

NOSE: Abundant rich dark cherry, chocolate, liquorice, herb garden aromas.

PALATE: A richly concentrated, beautifully focused wine with deep-set dark cherry, blackberry, chocolate, cedar flavours and sweet, supple tannins. A very fresh, evolved wine with balance, length and movement. Will continue to develop. Fabulous wine.

Winery Profile

Australia's winemaking history of less than two hundred years is brief by European measures though, like Europe, punctuated by periods of extreme success and difficult times. From the earliest winemaking days Penfolds has figured prominently and few would argue the importance of Penfolds' influence on Australia's winemaking psyche.

Without the influence of Penfolds the modern Australian wine industry would look very different indeed. Sitting comfortably outside of fad and fashion, Penfolds has taken Australian wine to the world on a grand stage and forged a reputation for quality that is without peer.

Penfolds' reputation for making wines of provenance and cellaring potential might suggest a mantle of tradition and formality is the preferred attire of a company with so much history to defend. But to label Penfolds as simply an established and conventional winemaker, would be to confuse tradition with consideration and to overlook the innovative spirit that has driven Penfolds since its foundation, and continues to find expression in modern times.

If there is anything traditional about Penfolds, it is the practice of constantly reviewing the wines it already does well, and continuously evolving and refining styles as vineyards mature and access to ever older and more varied vineyard sites improves.
