Bin 128 comprises fruit sourced from the unique terra rossa soils of Coonawarra, a region that exemplifies the perfume, transparency and seductive nature of coolclimate red table wines. Coonawarra has remained the source of shiraz fruit for Bin 128 since the inaugural release of the 1962 vintage. In order to further enhance the regional qualities of Bin 128, the wine is matured in a mixture of new and seasoned French oak hogsheads, a method that was refined during the 1980's when the transition was made from American to French oak.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"product-attribute__item-key\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWinery\u003c\/strong\u003e:\u003cstrong\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003ePenfolds\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"product-attribute__item-key\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVarietal(s)\u003c\/strong\u003e: Shiraz\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"product-attribute__item-key\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSize\u003c\/strong\u003e: \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"product-attribute__item-value\"\u003e750mL\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"product-attribute__item-key\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCountry\u003c\/strong\u003e: \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"product-attribute__item-value\"\u003eAustralia\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"product-attribute__item-key\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eState\u003c\/strong\u003e: South Australia\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"product-attribute__item-key\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRegion\u003c\/strong\u003e: Coonawarra\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"product-attribute__item-key\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVintage\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1998 \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"product-attribute__item-key\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e1998 was an outstanding vintage.
