To honour 60 years since its inception, Penfolds winemakers selected exemplar Bin 389 parcels to create this Limited Release. Encapsulating Penfolds time-honoured blending philosophy, this wine offers an alternative expression of a 2018 cabernet shiraz.

Sixty years ago, Bin 389 immediately validated the merits of the blending synergy of Australian cabernet sauvignon & shiraz. This wine reaffirms this wonderful union.

“This Limited Release is destined to age long and gracefully, as expected of a Bin 389 derivative; it certainly won’t disappoint. Dare we say … “Claret-like”. Noted: twice the amount of new oak as a ‘regular’ Bin 389. Easily handled, thanks to the quality of the fruit & oak used for this very special homage blend.” – PETER GAGO, Penfolds Chief Winemaker

Nose:

Immediately fresh and lively. Very South Australian – brazen formic plumes strut above, whilst polished boot leather aromatics lurk below. Scents of dehydrated strawberry & raspberry coulis propelled ahead of more familial cherry pip & sarsaparilla. Overt & extrovert (sandalwood) oak, coupled with a mix of roasted nuts (pecan/pistachio/hazelnut/walnut), conspire to monopolise attention.

Palate:

Red berries abound – cranberry & cherry pip ... and via this fruited conduit, enhanced natural acidity and flavour. The complete package – justifiably offering a respectful salute to the original Bin 389 blueprint.

Varietal Composition:

54% Cabernet Sauvignon, 46% Shiraz
