Penfolds has long maintained a system of numbered ‘Bins’ in the cellars at Magill Estate where the first bottled wines were stored

for maturation. The renowned Bin series, first created in 1959, reflects Penfolds meticulous winemaking approach of sourcing the

best fruit from premium vineyards, marrying both regional and varietal characters to the distinctive Penfolds style. The inaugural

2022 Bin 21 Grenache was sourced from vines in the Barossa Valley, some planted as far back as the 1930s. Grenache has thrived

in the soils of the Barossa Valley since the 1840s. The climate of the Barossa Valley is not dissimilar to the warm dry regions of

Europe where the origins of the varietal can be traced. In this follow-up release, we have also sourced grenache grapes from the

storied vineyards of McLaren Vale, a region established by European migrants in 1838, just two years after the colony was first

established. The region held in very high regard for this varietal and boasts some of the oldest vines in Australia. Our first Cellar

Reserve Grenache was made in 2002 from Barossa Valley old vine grapes and it is still keenly sought by collectors today. The

inaugural release of the Bin Grenache in 2023 marked 21 years since the seminal Cellar Reserve wine was made, thus “21” is the

Bin number we have anointed this new addition to the Penfolds Collection.

A mouth-watering and compact palate, with fine grain and powdery tannins. More blueberry! Blueberry soufflé, with crème anglaise spiked with demerara sugar. The palate is balanced with freshly sliced jamón, fennel and crostini. While still tightly coiled, the palate is complete with outstanding balance – all elements in harmony. PALATE On the palate, pomegranate’s phenolic grip — assertive yet refined — provides a lovely texture. Flavours of raspberry, strawberry, red cherry and fresh plum cascade across the palate in a celebration of red fruit vibrancy. The mouthwatering acidity ensures each note is accentuated, creating an effect that is rich and refreshing. Despite its fullness, there is an elegance to the palate structure thanks to fine-grained tactile tannins which anchor the flavours securely in place. Mineral quartz elements weave through the taste experience, adding a structural framework that elevates without detracting from the wine’s inherent charm. This Bin 21 finishes with commendable length, leaving behind an impression that beckons another sip.
