Known as Baby Grange, Penfolds Bin 389 Cabernet Shiraz is widely regarded as one of Australia's best value premium reds — a powerful, structured blend traditionally matured in American oak hogsheads previously used for Grange.

The blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Shiraz draws on South Australia's finest fruit — typically from the Barossa Valley, McLaren Vale and Coonawarra — and is traditionally matured in American oak hogsheads previously used to age Grange.
