Product Name: Penfolds 'Bin 389' Cabernet Shiraz 2017 - 750mL
Description: Penfolds 'Bin 389' Cabernet Shiraz 2017, often referred to as “Baby Grange” due to its maturation in the same barrels as the previous vintage of Grange, embodies a rich history of meticulous winemaking. This 750 mL bottle combines the structure of Cabernet Sauvignon with the richness of Shiraz, offering a robust blend that has captivated wine lovers worldwide.
Tasting Notes: The 2017 Bin 389 is a masterful blend of dark chocolate and blackcurrant of Cabernet Sauvignon seamlessly integrated with the plum and spice of Shiraz. The palate is a complex layering of red and black fruits, interwoven with firm, yet silky tannins that carry through to a long, refined finish. It’s vibrant yet deeply concentrated, showcasing the hallmark qualities of balance and elegance that Penfolds is renowned for.
Vinification: Sourced from some of the finest vineyards across South Australia, including Barossa Valley, McLaren Vale, and Coonawarra, the grapes are meticulously selected for their vitality and pedigree. Aged in American oak hogsheads for 12 months, this wine demonstrates the synergistic power of blending these two varietals to perfection.
