Product Highlights

Full Product Description

Penfolds Bin 28 Kalimna Shiraz is one of Penfolds’ classic Australian Shiraz wines, offering a generous and full-bodied expression of warm-climate Shiraz. First produced in 1959, Bin 28 was originally named after the renowned Kalimna Vineyard in the Barossa Valley, although today it represents a broader Penfolds house style rather than a single-vineyard wine.

The wine is known for its rich dark fruit, ripe tannins, and classic Penfolds oak influence. Expect notes of blackberry, blueberry, plum, dark cherry, chocolate, spice, vanilla, and subtle oak. Penfolds describes Bin 28 as a showcase for warm-climate Australian Shiraz, while its 2020 product note highlights rich dark ripe fruit wrapped with American oak, chocolate, and spice.

On the palate, it is dry, full-bodied, smooth, and powerful, with ripe black fruit, savoury spice, rounded tannins, and a long warming finish. This is a strong choice for customers looking for a reliable Australian Shiraz with Penfolds pedigree, generous flavour, and excellent food-pairing versatility.

Serve it with steak, roast lamb, grilled beef, BBQ ribs, burgers, roast pork, spicy sausages, beef stew, charcuterie, hard cheese, and hearty casual dinners.
