"Deep crimson. Intense blackberry, musky plum, inky aromas with roasted walnut notes. Generous velvety wine with deep set juicy blackberry, dark chocolate, musky plum fruits, fine plentiful chocolaty firm textures, savoury oak complexity and integrated fine acidity. Finishes chocolaty leafy firm with musky plum aniseed notes. Delicious early drinking style with superb richness of flavour and power. Best to drink soon. Fantastic early drinking style with dense colour, plentiful grenache-like musky complexity, superb viscosity and freshness. A highlight of the 2020 Collection – 95 points."
This refreshingly abundant expression of Barossa SGM (GSM or GMS) never relies on oak or alcohol to achieve its character.”
–Shavaughn Wells, Penfolds Winemaker
Bright garnet red.
Raspberry-leaf and pastille fruits (blackberry) jostle to the fore. Barossa boot polish high-notes arise – ever so discretely! Scents of delightfully appealing, almost pungent salty prosciutto/cassoulet/beef ragu/osso buco ... stock(s)? A quince jelly and inky-berried aromatic sign-off at this early stage of bottle maturation. More to be revealed over time.
Juicy, dense and more-ish - a sophisticated varietal and regional matrix unfolds, stamped with Barossa integrity. But, what from what? Best guess: ironstone – from shiraz and a continuum of fresh red and dark berried fruits from its grenache and mataro stablemates. Super-fine tannins permeate across the palate, no doubt contributed by all three varieties. Background oak ever so distant.
Lingers.
VINTAGE CONDITIONS
Autumn rainfall was below average, a trend that continued into early winter with only 25% of the long-term average achieved in June. The latter half of winter was wetter, with vines entering the growing season with very healthy moisture profiles. Temperatures were below average during winter, however it warmed substantially through spring boosting vine growth and rushing the vines through flowering. Spring conditions were dry early, followed by plentiful November rainfall which encouraged good, strong canopy development. Summer was dry, with no recorded major rain events. This carried into January with a heat spike around veraison causing vines to stall, pushing the start of vintage out by a week or so. The warm weather carried into autumn, setting up an Indian summer with favourable conditions for ripening grapes, and this coupled with dry conditions set up a high-quality vintage for all three varietals.

The Bin 138 Story
Bin 138 Shiraz Grenache Mataro (Mourvèdre) is a traditional regional blend based on old vines planted as far back as 1895. The first vintages (1992–1997) were released as ‘Old Vine Grenache Shiraz Mourvèdre’. It was elevated to Bin status in 1998. These three varieties have formed the backbone of the Barossa’s vineyard heritage since the late 19th century and were used in both table wine and fortified wine production.
