The Penfolds BIN 138 Shiraz Grenache Mataro 2020 14.5% Vol. 0.75 l is a red wine from Australia with a strong character that impressively demonstrates how skilfully tradition and modern winemaking can be combined. The renowned Penfolds winery, founded in South Australia in 1844, is one of the best-known and most respected producers in the world. With the BIN 138, Penfolds presents a tribute to the classic Rhône cuvées, which are uniquely characterised by Australian terroir.


The cuvée consists of the Shiraz, Grenache and Mataro (Mourvèdre) grape varieties. The grapes come from old vines, some of which are over 60 years old and are cultivated in various vineyards in the Barossa Valley. The wine is aged for around 12 months in a combination of new and used American and French oak barrels. This gives the wine structure, depth and fine roasted flavours without overpowering the varietal fruit. The result is a complex, dense and multi-layered red wine that impresses with finesse, flavour and elegance.

Tasting Note

The Penfolds BIN 138 has a deep ruby red colour with purple reflections in the glass. The nose reveals aromas of ripe cherries, dark berries and plums, accompanied by spicy notes such as liquorice, black pepper and Mediterranean herbs. It is full-bodied on the palate, with dense fruit, silky tannins and a fine balance of freshness, spice and wood. The finish is long, harmonious and complex.

This red wine is an excellent accompaniment to hearty meat dishes such as grilled beef, rack of lamb or game. It also comes into its own with stews, Mediterranean stews or flavoursome pasta dishes with meat sauces. Cheese lovers will also enjoy it with mature hard cheese or aromatic blue cheese. Served at 16-18 °C, it reveals its full depth and is therefore ideal for festive occasions as well as for enjoyable evenings in good company.
