WINE MAKING PROCESS
Penfolds Bin 389 Cabernet Shiraz is produced using a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Shiraz grapes sourced from various South Australian regions. Fermentation occurs in small wood vats with controlled temperatures, and some components finish fermentation in barrels. The wine undergoes a 12-month aging period in American oak barrels, with a percentage of new oak. Components are matured in barrels that have previously held Penfolds Grange. The 2022 vintage was characterized by moderate weather conditions in key growing areas, contributing to a balanced harvest.
