Producer, Penfolds Region, Coonawarra, South Australia, Australia Style, Medium to Full-Bodied Red Wine Varietal, Shiraz Maturation, 12 months in French oak hogsheads (approximately 20–25% new oak) Size, 750ml ABV, 14.5%
First released in 1962, Penfolds Bin 128 is one of the winery's most distinctive regional wines, crafted exclusively from Shiraz grown in Coonawarra. Unlike many Penfolds reds that are multi-regional blends, Bin 128 showcases the elegance and cool-climate character of Coonawarra, with maturation exclusively in French oak to highlight its pepper, spice and vibrant fruit profile. This regional expression has become a benchmark Australian Shiraz with excellent cellaring potential.

Fragrant aromas of blackberry, plum, violets and cracked black pepper are complemented by hints of cedar, spice and savoury herbs. The palate is refined and medium-bodied, with vibrant dark berry fruit, fine-grained tannins and a mineral-driven finish that reflects the distinctive Coonawarra terroir.
