Penfolds Bin 2 Shiraz Mataro 750ml
Bin 2 was first released in 1960, yet was temporarily discontinued in Australia in the 1970s at the height of the white wine boom. The original Bin 2 was an ‘Australian Burgundy’ style (despite its Rhône varieties) – typically a soft, medium bodied wine based on shiraz. The Bin 2 blend of shiraz and mataro is still relatively uncommon in Australian table wines. Also known as monastrell or mourvèdre, mataro was introduced to Australia in the 1830s. Often used in fortified wine production, this grape is widely planted in the Barossa Valley.
Tasting Notes
Colour:
Deep red
Nose:
Nose:
Mediterranean notes of savoury ratatouille, sundried tomato, olive tapenade, Moroccan spices and charcoal roasted roast game. Balancing the savoury notes are aromatic blueberries, exotic red fruits, perfumed cranberry and fresh pomegranate.
Palate:
A delightfully complex amalgam of green olives, pepperoni and Dutch liquorice. Soft blue fruits are to the fore, with textured tannins providing grip. An expansive palate gives this wine a generosity and presence.
