Penfolds Bin 2 Shiraz Mataro

Penfolds Bin 2 Shiraz Mataro

Volume: 750ml / ABV: 14.5%


Penfolds Bin 2 was first released in 1960, yet was temporarily discontinued in Australia in the 1970s at the height of the white wine boom. The original Bin 2 was an ‘Australian Burgundy’ style (despite its Rhône varieties) – typically a soft, medium-bodied wine based on shiraz. The Bin 2 blend of shiraz and mataro is still relatively uncommon in Australian table wines. Also known as Penfolds Bin 2 Shiraz mourvèdre or monastrell, mataro was introduced to Australia in the 1830s. Often used in fortified wine production, this grape is widely planted in the Barossa Valley. It is valued by winemakers for its blending attributes, adding complexity and palate grip. Interest in Bin 2 has grown as the popularity of traditional Rhône varieties and blends continues to flourish.

 

Tasting Note

 

Nose

A first-impressional glimpse of red-fruited high notes - propelling mulberry, damson plums and boysenberry. Following, scents of pastrami (lightly coated in cardamon, rosemary?) and moist slices of silverside sans mustard. Swirling and a little time in glass liberate an ascent of wafts of a deconstructed puttanesca sauce (caper/olive/tomato). Oak barely perceivable.

 

Palate

From front to back palate, an immediate and gentle softness and freshness.
This tactile smoothness/‘creaminess’ invokes an almost velour/felt/velvet/satin mouthfeel. Perhaps ‘custardy/cream sago-like’ tannins and balanced acidity induce this even emulsification? Derived flavours of quince paste and fresh white figs allow a modicum of fruited succulence. Certainly an alternative shiraz and mataro palate package!
