Introduction:
Penfolds Bin 138 Shiraz Grenache Mataro is a bold and expressive blend inspired by the wines of Southern Rhône. Sourced from old Barossa Valley vines, some over 100 years old, this wine is matured for 12 to 15 months in seasoned oak, allowing the varietals to shine. With its rich complexity and refined structure, this Shiraz Grenache Mataro is a sophisticated representation of Barossa Valley winemaking.
Tasting Notes
- Nose: Aromas of blackberry, raspberry leaf, and pastille fruits, with hints of salty prosciutto, cassoulet, and osso buco stock.
- Palate: Juicy and dense, with layers of fresh red and dark berry fruits, complemented by an underlying ironstone minerality.
- Finish: Lingering and refined, with super-fine tannins and subtle oak influence, evolving beautifully over time.
Pairings
Pairs exceptionally well with slow-braised beef ragu, roast lamb, and osso buco. Also an excellent match for charcuterie, grilled meats, and aged cheeses.
