Since 1844, Penfolds has been grounded in experimentation, curiosity and uncompromising quality. This pioneering spirit still rings true after nearly two centuries and is what has helped them become one of the most celebrated winemakers in the world today. Bin 389 was often referred to as ‘Baby Grange’, in part because components of the wine are matured in the same barrels that held the previous vintage of Grange. First made in 1960 by the legendary Max Schubert, this was the wine that helped forge Penfolds reputation with red wine drinkers by combining the structure of Cabernet Sauvignon with the richness of Shiraz. Exemplifying the judicious balance of fruit and oak, Bin 389 highlights the generous mid-palate Penfolds is known for.
Multi-Regional Blend
This is a quintessential Bin 389, showcasing a dark, rich, and opulent fruit profile. Deep ruby in color, its nose bursts with cherry, plums, spice, and tobacco, with wafts of vanilla, char, and floral violets. The palate is equally compelling, featuring plums, blackberry, rhubarb, grippy tannins, char, vanilla, and mocha, all interwoven with prune and a touch of balsamic. This medium-weighted wine balances fruit sweetness with savory reduction, leading to a cherry-driven, savory finish. Patience will reward those who cellar it. No surprise here considering the 'Baby Grange', as some call it is the most cellared wine in Australia. Pair with a grilled ribeye steak or aged cheddar for a delectable match.
