KWV Roodeberg

The wine is dark in colour with a lively pomegranate hue. Aromas of prunes, dark berries, chocolate and cassis on the nose. A full-bodied, spicy blend with well-integrated tannins on a firm palate with a long, graceful and smooth finish.

Bin 389 was often referred to as ‘Baby Grange’, in part because components of the wine are matured in the same barrels that held the previous vintage of Grange. First made in 1960 by the legendary Max Schubert, this was the wine that helped forge Penfolds reputation with red wine drinkers by combining the structure of cabernet sauvignon with the richness of shiraz. Exemplifying the judicious balance of fruit and oak, Bin 389 highlights the generous mid-palate Penfolds is known for.

Raspberry, blackcurrant and blackberry aromas supported by black pepper and subtle oak spice lead to a well-balanced, medium-bodied style of wine with a smooth, velvety tannin.
