    Bin 389 is often referred to as ‘Poor Man’s Grange’ or ‘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 to forge Penfolds solid reputation with red wine drinkers Combining the structure of Cabernet Sauvignon with the richness of Shiraz, Bin 389 also exemplifies the judicious balance of fruit and oak.

    Made from a blend of 54% Cabernet and 46% Shiraz, the wine was matured for twelve months in 40% new, one year old, and older American oak hogsheads. Opaque crimson colour with deep crimson hue. Perfumed nose of musk, mustard powder, curry vanillin, Moroccan spices, and dried herb. The palate is generous and full bodied with fine dry tannin backbone. Flavours of confiture, marzipan, liquorice and aniseed couple with those of roasted white meats - enhanced by barrel fermentation, sensitive oak accompaniment.
