Penfolds Bin 389 Cabernet Shiraz 2021 75cl

Penfolds Bin 389 Cabernet Shiraz

One of Australia’s most celebrated and enduring red wines, often referred to as “Baby Grange” due to its partial ageing in the same barrels used for Penfolds Grange. First created in 1960 by the legendary Max Schubert, this wine showcases Penfolds’ ability to blend varietals with finesse and vision. Combining the structural backbone of Cabernet Sauvignon with the opulent, velvety richness of Shiraz, Bin 389 is a hallmark of balance and complexity. It delivers both power and elegance, underpinned by carefully integrated oak and remarkable fruit purity.

• Penfolds Bin 389 Cabernet Shiraz opens with an aromatic bouquet of dark fruits layered with mocha and fresh coffee notes, immediately signalling its bold yet polished character.
• On the palate, expect layers of liquorice, stewed plum and blackcurrant – rich, ripe fruits wrapped in complexity.
• The interplay of dark chocolate and mocha emerges through the mid-palate, adding depth and subtle sweetness.
• A savoury edge is lifted by succulent acidity, giving the wine energy and a mouth-watering finish.
• Integrated, fine-grained tannins coat the mouth, delivering impressive structure and length.
• The signature ‘sweet’ core of Penfolds Bin 389 Cabernet Shiraz is ever-present, showing concentration and polish with oak seamlessly absorbed into the fruit profile.
• Though the Cabernet and Shiraz elements are distinct at first, time will marry them harmoniously into a refined, unified expression.

Perfect for pairing with robust dishes, Penfolds Bin 389 Cabernet Shiraz complements grilled red meats, lamb shoulder, or rich mushroom risotto. Its depth and structure also stand up well to aged cheeses and slow-cooked beef. This is a wine that elevates any dining experience and continues to evolve beautifully with cellaring.
