Barossa Valley

Medium

Cork

A new wine to join the Penfolds Bin range, so named because it marks 21 years since Penfolds released its first Cellar Reserve Barossa Valley Grenache (the latest release of which is the 2018 vintage, the first made since 2002). This is a very different style, however – still from old-vine parcels dating to the 1930s but with steely tannins supporting quite a light-bodied but high-toned palate. The fruit is a little confected – think raspberry jellies and red cordial – and the alcohol sticks out a little, but the concentration and fruit purity speaks of those old vines and is unencumbered by oak. Give it time. Released at AU$xxx
