Bin 2 was first released in 1960, yet was discontinued in Australia in the 1970s at the height of the white wine boom. The original Bin 2 was an ‘Australian Burgundy’ style (despite its Rhone varieties) – typically a soft, medium-bodied wine based on Shiraz. The Bin 2 blend of Shiraz and Mataro is still relatively uncommon in Australian table wines.   Also known as Monastrell or Mourvedre, Mataro was introduced to Australia in the 1830s. Sometimes used in fortified wine production, this grape is widely planted in the Barossa Valley. It is greatly valued by winemakers for its blending attributes, adding complexity and palate grip. Interest in Bin 2 has grown as the popularity of traditional Rhone varieties and blends continues to flourish. t’s bold and dark, creamy and concentrated, with blackberried fruit, suede-like notes, clove and vanilla cream all laid on. This wasn’t bottled at the time of the annual tasting so a review bottle was sent: I opened it and promptly polished off more than I’d care to responsibly admit. It has both heaviness and heat but it swooshes through the mouth with confidence and ease.   Decanter World Wine Awards: 92Pts
