Penfolds Bin 389 Cabernet Shiraz 60th Anniversary Limited Release 2018 1.5L

Description

To honour 60 years since its inception, Penfolds winemakers selected exemplar Bin 389 parcels to create this Limited Release. Encapsulating Penfolds time-honoured blending philosophy, this wine offers an alternative expression of a 2018 cabernet shiraz. 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 in known for. This release in 2020 commemorates the 60th anniversary since Bin 389 was first made. This Limited Release is destined to age long and gracefully, as expected of a Bin 389 derivative, it certainly won’t disappoint. – Peter Gago, Penfolds Chief Winemaker The Finer Details Style – Red Wine Varietal – Cabernet Sauvignon 57%, Shiraz 43% Country – Australia Region – McLaren Vale, Barossa Valley, Padthaway, Coonawarra, Robe, Wrattonbully Vintage – 2018 Bottle Size – 1.5L ABV – 14.5%
