Penfolds Bin 389 Cabernet Shiraz 2013

We've fallen a little head-over-heels in love with the Penfolds Bin 389...

This dark horse seduces your senses with aromas of dark fruits, vanilla, cinnamon and even a hint of chocolate! Enticing flavours of fruit and spices make it simply irresistible. Not to mention the juicy and succulent tannins.

Long, lingering and ludicrously luscious. A special wine that's perfect for sharing with that special someone.

Since their beginning, over 170 years ago, Penfolds have owned and leased vineyards as well as sourcing their grapes from various independent growers. Introduced by Mary Penfold in the 1860's, this multi-vinyard and multi-regional approach to crafting wines allows Penfolds to provide the consistency of style and quality across their vintages that they are well known for.

Peter Gago joined the team in 1989 after studying for a Bachelor of Applied Science (Oenology) at Roseworthy College, Adelaide, and graduating at top of the class. He initially crafted sparkling wines but moved on to making reds instead, taking on the role of Penfolds Red Wine Oenologist soon afterwards. Considered as an integral part of the team with extensive knowledge and passion for winemaking, Gago succeeded John Duval in 2002 as Penfolds Chief Winemaker. His name is often celebrated for bringing the successes of Australian wines to light, and he was presented with the 'Winemark's Winemaker' award in 2012.

Penfolds source their grapes from over 220 vineyards and independent growers across Australia, including the key regions of Adelaide, the Barossa Valley, the Clare Valley, Coonawarra, Limestone Coast and McLaren Vale. For their white wines, they source from the cooler climates of Tumbarumba in New South Wales, Henty in Southern Victoria and Tasmania.

The components of Bin 389 are matured in the same barrels that held the previous vintage of the infamous Penfolds Grange, which is one of the reasons it's often referred to as 'Poor Man's Grange' or 'Baby Grange'. First made in 1960 by Max Schubert, Bin 389 is the wine that helped to build Penfolds reputation amongst red wine drinkers.
