✨ Technical Specifications
Often affectionately dubbed 'Baby Grange' because components of the wine are matured in the very same American oak hogsheads that held the previous vintage of Penfolds' flagship Grange, Bin 389 is an iconic Australian blend that beautifully marries the structure of Cabernet Sauvignon with the rich mid-palate of Shiraz. The 2019 vintage was sourced from premium vineyards across South Australia, including the Barossa Valley, McLaren Vale, Padthaway, Wrattonbully, and Coonawarra. The growing season was characterized by a warm and dry spring and summer, which naturally restricted yields but resulted in grapes of exceptional concentration, deep color, and intense flavor profiles. Aged for 12 months in 25% new American oak hogsheads, this vintage showcases a seamless integration of dark fruit, savory spice, and fine-grained, structural tannins.
🍾 About the Producer
Founded in 1844 by Dr. Christopher Rawson Penfold and his wife Mary at the Magill Estate in South Australia, Penfolds is one of Australia's oldest and most iconic wine producers. The estate achieved legendary international acclaim during the 1950s under visionary chief winemaker Max Schubert, who created Penfolds Grange and revolutionized the country's winemaking techniques. Driven by a celebrated philosophy of multi-regional and multi-varietal blending, Penfolds sources exceptional fruit across historic Australian terroirs—such as the Barossa Valley, McLaren Vale, and Coonawarra—as well as select premier global regions. The house is universally revered for powerful, impeccably structured, and long-lived wines, led by its flagship Grange, Bin 707 Cabernet Sauvignon, and celebrated Bin series.
