Returns Simplified.Nicknamed Baby Grange for its partial maturation in the same barrels used for Penfolds Grange, Bin 389 is one of the most iconic red blends in Australia. The 2022 vintage is crafted from select parcels across South Australias top regions, including Barossa Valley, McLaren Vale, and Coonawarra, highlighting regional character while maintaining the Penfolds house style.
The blend typically consists of approximately 52% Cabernet Sauvignon and 48% Shiraz, combining Cabernets linear drive and structure with Shirazs plush fruit and mid-palate generosity. Fruit is fermented in stainless steel before aging for 12 months in American oak hogsheads, 25% of which are seasoned barrels from the previous Grange vintage.
The 2022 release reflects a mild but dry growing season, resulting in intense flavor concentration, polished tannins, and excellent balance. The wine is approachable in youth but destined to evolve beautifully over 1020 years.
Penfolds, established in 1844, is a cornerstone of Australian winemaking and internationally acclaimed for its legacy of precision, blending mastery, and cellar-worthy reds. Known for its meticulous multi-regional sourcing, Penfolds brings together fruit from diverse terroirs to craft wines that balance consistency with regional expression.
Penfolds winemaking philosophy emphasizes structure, richness, and longevity, particularly evident in wines like Bin 389, which was first released in 1960 under the direction of the legendary Max Schubert. It remains a flagship of the portfolio, blending tradition with innovation.
The use of American oak and a structured Cabernet backbone gives Bin 389 its signature characterbold, elegant, and unmistakably Penfolds. With each vintage, it continues to offer exceptional value for collectors and enthusiasts alike.
