    Penfolds has been a pioneer in the world of winemaking since its establishment in 1844 by Dr. Christopher and Mary Penfold. The company's success has been driven by a lineage of visionary winemakers who have pushed the development of the company to extraordinary, bold new heights. Mary Penfold's reign at the helm of Penfolds saw years of determination and endeavour, experimenting with new methods in wine production. In 1948, Max Schubert became the company's first Chief Winemaker and he propelled Penfolds onto the global stage with his experimentation of long-lasting wines - the creation of Penfolds Grange in the 1950s. Soon, the medals began flowing, and Grange quickly became one of the most revered wines around the world. In 2012, Penfolds released its most innovative project to date - 12 handcrafted ampoules of the rare 2004 Kalimna Block Cabernet Sauvignon. Today, Penfolds continues to hold dear the philosophies and legends that have driven the company's success since its establishment in 1844.

    Drawing inspiration from wines of the Southern Rhône, Penfolds Bin 138 blends shiraz, grenache, and mataro in varying proportions, creating full-bodied wines possessing heady and rich perfume. Every year the fruit for this wine is sourced from old Barossa Valley wines. Some over 100 years old! The fruit is then matured for 12 to 15 months in seasoned oak hogsheads, allowing the three different varietals to shine through. The first vintage release of this varietal blend was the 1992, labelled ‘Old Vine Barossa Valley’. With the 1998 vintage it was then elevated to Bin status.

    Medium deep colour. Traditional Penfolds style with choco-berry graphite aromas with some herb garden notes. Generous and inky with attractive redcurrant, red plum flavours, fine loose knit slinky textures, underlying savoury roasted walnut notes and fresh long integrated acidity. Sturdy and “Penfoldsian” in character with attractive buoyancy of fruit and underlying vigour. Will keep but best to drink within a three or four-year time frame. - Andrew Caillard  MW, 93 Points
