Penfolds bin 389 cabernet/shiraz 750ml

Penfolds bin 389 cabernet shiraz is the classic south australian red wine: a magical marriage between elegant cabernet sauvignon and generous shiraz. with thick skins, royal purple in colour, and elegant flavours derived from ideal grape-growing conditions, cabernet sauvignon provides the structure and palate length. shiraz grapes, akin to small black pearls, provide the intensity, opulence and flesh. first made in 1960, bin 389 has a reputation for consistency and longevity and has earned its well-deserved moniker, baby grange, from time spent maturing in oak hogsheads used the previous vintage for grange. this much-loved, beautifully consistent style shows all the hallmarks and benefits of cross-varietal blending and for many wine drinkers, it is their preferred penfolds wine. bin 389 is an australian grand vin; a selection and interpretation of the best parcels from the best vineyard sites, by a winemaking team steeped in the ethos and tradition of a great australian.
