An exclusive edition of the finest Penfold Shiraz, picked off a wonderful old site, originally sowed to vines in 1888. Block 3C of the stately Kalimna property has been the source of Penfolds most memorable and long lived vintages. Kalimna literally means pleasant view, its gently undulating slopes are envigorated by cool sea breezes from the Gulf St Vincent. All grapes destined for Bin 170 are picked and sorted by hand, parcels are treated to a term of cold soak maceration for optimal extractions of colour and tannin, followed by a traditional vinification in select fermenters. Upon completion, batches are filled to a high proportion of new French oak hogsheads for sixteen months maturation. Alcohol 14.5%
