Enquire about availabilityTasting notes
A blend of 51% Cabernet Sauvignon and 49% Shiraz, the very deep purple-black colored 2011 Bin 389 Cabernet Shiraz is a little youthfully mute, showing cassis and black cherries on the nose alongside hints of pencil shavings, licorice, chocolate, pepper and meat. More cedar flavor shows up in the firm and structured, medium-bodied palate marked by a high level of grainy tannins, a lively acid backbone and a long finish.

On the palate, it is rich and intense, with flavours of dark fruit, chocolate, and spice. The tannins are firm and well-structured, providing a long and satisfying finish.
History of the Producer
Penfolds is one of the oldest and most respected wineries in Australia, with a history dating back to 1844. The winery was founded by Dr Christopher Rawson Penfold, who planted the first vineyard in the Adelaide Hills. Today, Penfolds is known for its iconic wines, including the Bin 389, which has been produced since 1960.

The Penfolds Bin 389 is a versatile wine that pairs well with a variety of dishes, including grilled meats, hearty stews, and strong cheeses. It is also a great wine to enjoy on its own, either as an aperitif or after dinner. For the best experience, we recommend serving it at room temperature and decanting it for at least an hour before drinking.
