✨ Technical Specifications
Affectionately known as 'Baby Grange', Bin 389 is a legendary Australian classic first created in 1960 by Max Schubert. It earned its famous moniker because components of the blend are matured in the very same American oak casks that housed the previous vintage of Grange. The 2021 vintage is widely celebrated as a benchmark year in South Australia, characterized by a cool, slow-ripening season that yielded exceptional fruit purity, structural complexity, and vibrant acidity. Sourced from premium vineyards across Barossa Valley, McLaren Vale, Coonawarra, Wrattonbully, and Padthaway, this wine represents the pinnacle of the traditional Australian Cabernet-Shiraz blend. It was matured for 12 months in American oak hogsheads (37% new), resulting in a powerful, age-worthy red where the structured, leafy cassis of Cabernet Sauvignon seamlessly marries with the opulent, fleshy black plum and spice of Shiraz.
🍾 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.
