The 2022 Penfolds Bin 28 Shiraz offers a classic expression of warm-climate Australian Shiraz, showcasing ripe fruit generosity, supple texture and the hallmark Penfolds house style. First released in 1959, Bin 28 has long been admired for its accessibility, consistency and ability to deliver exceptional value. The 2022 vintage is presented here in a festive Penfolds Holiday Gift Box, making it an ideal choice for gifting or seasonal celebrations.
The 2022 vintage across South Australia delivered moderate warmth, balanced ripening and excellent fruit quality. The multi-regional sourcing approach — drawing from McLaren Vale, Barossa Valley, Padthaway, Wrattonbully and other premium sites — allowed Penfolds to craft a wine of depth, colour and vibrancy despite vintage variability across the state.
The bouquet is expressive and inviting, bursting with aromas of blackberry, black cherry, plum compote and mulberry. Notes of licorice, mocha, baking spice and dark chocolate add richness, while subtle hints of vanilla, cedar and warm earth reflect maturation in seasoned American oak.
On the palate, the 2022 Bin 28 is plush, full-bodied and fruit-driven. Generous dark fruits flow across a soft, velvety structure, supported by integrated tannins that shape the wine without imposing heaviness. Flavours of cocoa, spice, anise and lightly toasted oak add depth and complexity, while a gentle line of acidity provides balance. The finish is smooth, warming and satisfyingly persistent.
Approachable on release yet capable of evolving over the medium term, this vintage embodies the crowd-pleasing style that has made Bin 28 a perennial favourite in the Penfolds portfolio.
