About This Wine

Bin 389 is 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 wine helped forge Penfolds' reputation with red wine drinkers by combining the structure of Cabernet Sauvignon with the richness of Shiraz.

Bin 389 exemplifies the judicious balance of fruit and oak.

After a dry South Australian winter, vines entered spring in water deficit and adapted early to dry growing conditions.

Warm conditions and lower than average yields resulted in fruit showing strong structural tannins and wines of great intensity and flavour.

Producer Notes

COLOUR Deep dark magenta.

NOSE A first impression of dark fruits and chocolate, splashed by spices – cinnamon, vanillin pod, cola. Then, a transient umami dabble – via cues of Worcestershire sauce, smoked Barossa bacon and beef cube. To follow, a bruléed lift mirrored by scents of toasted brioche and soaked oats.

PALATE Expansive, explosive, exotic. A wave of fruits and spice unleashed, propelled by tomato and tahini paste flavours. Juicy, succulent tannins engulf alongside oak, adding volume and density. Mouth-coating in every sense. Long and lingering.
