The Penfolds BIN 389 Cabernet Shiraz 2020 14.5% vol. in a 0.75 l bottle is an outstanding example of the masterful art of winemaking from the renowned Australian wine house Penfolds. With a history dating back to 1844, Penfolds has built a worldwide reputation for quality and innovation.
BIN 389, often referred to as the 'Baby Grange', is an impressive blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Shiraz grapes grown in the South Australia region. This harmonious blend of two of Australia's best-known grape varieties produces a full-bodied wine that combines the best characteristics of both varieties: the structure and depth of Cabernet Sauvignon and the fruitiness and softness of Shiraz.
The 2020 vintage showcases the mastery of Penfolds' winemakers, with a perfect balance between freshness and complexity. The wine is matured in a combination of new and used oak barrels, which gives it additional depth and a subtle woody note. With an alcohol content of 14.5% vol., Penfolds BIN 389 is a powerful but elegant red wine, suitable for both immediate enjoyment and cellaring.

Tasting notes:
In the glass, a deep dark, almost black color with violet reflections. The bouquet is intense and complex, with aromas of ripe black berries, including blackcurrants and blackberries, which combine with spicy notes of pepper, cedar and a hint of oak. On the palate, the wine is powerful and full-bodied, with a firm structure and velvety tannins. The fruitiness of plums and dark cherries is accompanied by a subtle sweetness reminiscent of vanilla and chocolate. The finish is long and elegant, with a hint of tobacco and herbs adding depth to the wine.
The Penfolds BIN 389 Cabernet Shiraz 2020 is an excellent accompaniment to a variety of dishes, especially meat dishes with intense flavors. It goes wonderfully with grilled beef, lamb chops or even a juicy steak. Strong stews and game dishes, such as venison or stag, also harmonize perfectly with this wine. If you enjoy cheese, we recommend pairing it with mature cheeses such as cheddar or blue cheese, whose strong aromas are wonderfully complemented by the structure of BIN 389. An excellent wine for festive occasions as well as for cozy evenings with special dishes. (automated translation)
