Penfolds Bin 169 Cabernet Sauvignon 2018
On request only
Penfolds Bin 169 Cabernet Sauvignon 2018 is built around a very clear sense of place: Coonawarra in South Australia. While Penfolds is well known for multi-region wines, Bin 169 takes a different route by focusing on Cabernet Sauvignon from one region, sourced from Penfolds' Coonawarra vineyards.
For the 2018 vintage, the wine spent 18 months in French oak hogsheads, with 50% new oak. That ageing supports the structure of the wine while leaving room for the Cabernet profile of red and dark fruit, spice, firm tannins and freshness. The vintage itself was marked by dry conditions from December to mid-April, followed by milder harvest weather, which Penfolds links to good flavour development and fine tannins.
At Drankenshop Broekmans, we see this as a serious (…)Penfolds Reserve A Chardonnay 2018

Penfolds Reserve A Chardonnay 2018

Penfolds Reserve A Chardonnay 2018 is a dry white wine from Adelaide Hills in South Australia, made from Chardonnay and shaped in a clearly considered, contemporary style. Penfolds describes Reserve Bin A as a single-region Adelaide Hills Chardonnay, and the 2018 vintage shows that idea through precision, texture and a measured use of French oak.
The grapes were hand-picked in small bins and whole-bunch pressed. Part of the juice went straight from the press into French barriques, with each new and used 225-litre barrel acting as its own fermentation vessel. Spontaneous fermentation, maturation on solids, careful periodic bâtonnage and full natural malolactic fermentation all play a role in the wine's creamy depth and mineral line.

Penfolds Rwt Bin 798 2018
In stock
Penfolds RWT Bin 798 2018 is a Barossa Valley Shiraz with a clearly defined role in the Penfolds range. RWT stands for Red Winemaking Trial, the internal project name under which the wine was developed from 1995. First released with the 1997 vintage, it was conceived as a Barossa Shiraz matured exclusively in French oak.
The 2018 growing season in Barossa Valley was warm and dry, providing favourable ripening conditions for Shiraz. Penfolds describes the wine as rich, meaty and concentrated, with strong aromatic intensity and a soft, full texture. Sixteen months in French oak hogsheads, including a substantial proportion of new oak, adds depth while keeping the Barossa fruit firmly at the centre.

Penfolds Rwt Bin 798 2022

Penfolds RWT Bin 798 2022 is a Barossa Valley Shiraz with a distinct role in the Penfolds range. RWT stands for Red Winemaking Trial, the internal name of a project that began in the early 1990s and later became a recognised wine in its own right. Since the 2014 vintage, it has carried the Bin 798 number.
Its identity is built around single-region Barossa Shiraz and maturation in French oak. The 2022 vintage spent 14 months in French oak hogsheads, with a significant proportion of new oak. That frame brings structure and spicy depth, while the oak influence is described as present rather than overpowering.
The 2022 season in Barossa brought a moderate summer, no extreme heat above 40 °C and clear day-night temperature differences during harvest. Those (…)Penfolds St Henri Shiraz 2019

Penfolds St Henri Shiraz 2019
In stock
Penfolds St Henri Shiraz 2019 is a South Australian red with a very deliberate sense of style. Within the Penfolds range, St Henri stands apart as a Shiraz that does not rely on new oak for its identity. Instead, the focus is on fruit, structure and the character of a multi-regional blend.
The 2019 vintage brings together Shiraz from McLaren Vale, Barossa Valley, Padthaway, Wrattonbully and The Peninsulas. It was a warm year, with lower than average yields and fruit noted for good colour, firm tannins and intense flavour. Twelve months in large, seasoned oak casks kept the oak influence restrained, allowing the wine's dark fruit, savoury depth and natural tension to remain at the centre.
At Drankenshop Broekmans, this is the kind of wine we like to present to (…)Penfolds St Henri Shiraz 2021

Penfolds St Henri Shiraz 2021
In stock
Penfolds St Henri Shiraz 2021 shows a distinctive side of Australian Shiraz. Rather than placing new oak at the centre of the wine, St Henri is built around fruit, structure and the character of its South Australian origins, with grapes sourced from Barossa Valley and McLaren Vale. It sits within the Penfolds Collection as a deliberately different expression of Shiraz.
The 2021 blend is 97% Shiraz with 3% Cabernet Sauvignon, matured for 12 months in large, seasoned oak vats. That choice keeps the oak influence restrained and allows the depth of the Shiraz to speak more clearly. The result is a wine with concentration and ageing potential, but without the style being driven by new wood.
At Drankenshop Broekmans, St Henri has a natural place among serious (…)Penfolds Yattarna Chardonnay 2018

Penfolds Yattarna Chardonnay 2018
In stock
Penfolds Yattarna Chardonnay 2018 is an Australian white wine built around precision rather than weight. Within the Penfolds range, Yattarna, also referred to as Bin 144, represents Chardonnay selected from cooler regions, with a clear focus on finesse, natural acidity and structure.
The 2018 vintage brings together fruit from Tasmania, Tumbarumba in New South Wales and Adelaide Hills in South Australia, with Tasmania forming the largest share. That multi-regional approach is central to Yattarna: the aim is not to show one single vineyard, but to compose a cool-climate Chardonnay with tension, depth and definition.
The wine was barrel fermented and matured for eight months in French oak barriques, 60% of them new. The oak influence is described as supportive (…)Penfolds Yattarna Chardonnay 2022

Penfolds Yattarna Chardonnay 2022
In stock
Penfolds Yattarna Chardonnay 2022 is one of Penfolds' leading white wines, also known as Yattarna Bin 144 Chardonnay. Yattarna was first released in 1998 from the 1995 vintage, and the Bin 144 reference goes back to the 144 trial wines made before the cuvée was launched.
The 2022 vintage draws on cool Australian Chardonnay regions: Tumbarumba in New South Wales, Tasmania, particularly Coal River Valley, and Adelaide Hills in South Australia. That multi-regional approach is central to the wine. Tumbarumba forms the largest part of the blend, Tasmania adds cool-climate tension, and Adelaide Hills contributes a smaller but meaningful share.
Maturation took place for eight months in French oak barriques, 44% of them new. The oak is part of the wine's (…)
