Penfolds Bin 28 Kalimna Shiraz 2014

Penfolds Bin 28 Kalimna Shiraz 2014Penfolds Bin 28 Kalimna Shiraz is the archetypal warm climate Australian shiraz ripe, robust and generously flavoured. First made in 1959, Bin 28 is named after the famous Barossa Valley Kalimna vineyard purchased by Penfolds in 1945 and from which the wine was originally sourced. Today, Kalimna Bin 28 is a multi region, multi vineyard blend, with the Barossa Valley always well represented. It is all about the saturated black fruits and black licorice
