Bin 2 was first released in 1960, but was temporarily 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 smooth, medium-bodied shiraz-based wine. The Bin 2 blend of shiraz and mató is still relatively uncommon in Australian table wines.
Also known as monastrell or mourvèdre, mataro was introduced to Australia in the 1830s. This grape, which is often used in the production of fortified wine, is widely planted in the Barossa Valley. It is valued by winemakers for its blending attributes, adding complexity and grip to the palate. Interest in Bin 2 has grown as the popularity of traditional Rhône varieties and blends continues to flourish.
