Penfolds 170 years of Winemaking - 2010 BIN 170 Kalimna Shiraz
Eneste ene flaske i hele Danmark
Released in the year of Penfolds 170th Anniversary, the 2010 Bin 170 Kalimna Shiraz is a befitting wine to commemorate the extraordinary journey of Penfolds – from 1844 to 2014.
This rare, one-off single block, single vineyard wine was produced from the outstanding 2010 vintage with only 5544 bottles to be released globally. Created only once before in 1973, Bin 170 is sourced exclusively from old vines planted in the ancient soils of Block 3C, Kalimna Vineyard located in the Barossa Valley. 100% handpicked and sensitively crafted, this unblended wine was matured for 16 months in French oak hogsheads (55% new). A Kalimna Shiraz that evokes a unique sense of place, commands attention, requests little, and appreciates your patience.
Bin 170 has only been made once before in 1973. Originally intended to be blended with Bin 169 Connawarra Cabernet Sauvignon to become the 1973 vintage of Bin 60A due to its superior fruit quality, a decision was made to keep the parcels separate and thus Bin 170 was launched as a stand-alone wine.
Bin 170 wines were never released commercially but instead entered into wine shows with a high success rate of gold medals. The fruit produced from Block 3C in the Kalimna Vineyard in 2010 was so outstanding that the fruit was put aside for the second only vintage of the Bin 170 Wine.
“A Kalimna Monopole, an enigma
last crafted and captured in bottle
four decades ago, in 1973.”
“Watch this unblended and pure
Block 3C offering reluctantly
‘unravel’ over hours. Decompress
via a decant!”
“From the ancient soils of
Kalimna a juxtaposition of ‘older
times’ and the contemporary.
How to define such a wine?!
A befitting wine to commemorate
Penfolds intriguing and everchanging
170 years.”
