Penfolds Bin 150 Marananga Shiraz Barossa Valley 2010 Red Wine 75cLBy Winebuyers

1 x 75cl. The producer, Penfolds, has a history that goes beyond the story of Grange. In 1844, Dr Christopher and Mary Penfold planted vine cuttings from Europe at Magill Estate in South Australia. Through innovation and hard work, Penfolds became South Australia's largest winery by the early twentieth century. Winemaker Max Schubert joined a successful operation in 1948 and experimented with different blends of wines and the use of American oak, leading to the creation of groundbreaking wines. The Grange project, started in 1951, was initially put on hold, although the wines were made and stored in secret until it was officially re-instated in 1960. Around the same time, the 'Bin' concept began, where wines of different source and blend were given bin numbers on release. Some of these became continual releases to this day, while others had short runs or were only released in exceptional years.
