A magnificent blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Shiraz from the very best regions in South Australia, Penfolds Bin 389 is an Australian Classic that helped build the solid reputation of the winery around the world. The robust nature of the Cabernet grape gives tannin structure and body to the wine while the Shiraz provides suppleness of oak and intensity of the spices. Together they become a true Australian icon that always delivers.
Award tasting note: "Sweet, concentrated fruit with ripe lush mouth-feel. Dense and vibrant, superb tannins. Power and elegance in a glass." - Gold, Trophy, International Wine Challenge
Drinking Window: 2018 - 2035
Vintage Notes
After a dry South Australian winter reminiscent of 2006, vines were in water deficit at the beginning of spring and became accustomed to dry conditions quite early. Early budburst was noticeable across many regions and windy conditions during flowering were, in some regions, responsible for variable fruit set and lower than average yields come vintage. Dry spring conditions explained canopy growth and low yields, becoming typical of the 2013 growing season. Warm days were dispersed throughout October, November and in early January, contributing to an early start to the 2013 harvest and a short, condensed vintage. Dry and warm conditions, coupled with lower than average yields resulted in fruit showing strong, structural tannins and wines of great intensity and encouraging flavour.
