Tasting Notes
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. Penfolds Bin 2 Shiraz Mataro 2019 is an excellent vintage, perfect for any occassion.
