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 in known for.\u003c\/span\u003e","brand":"Penfolds","offers":[{"title":"Red Blends \/ South Australia \/ 750ml","offer_id":41118402314406,"sku":"202179","price":74.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0525\/9087\/0694\/products\/SOTE-Commresizing4_21.png?v=1746800496"},{"product_id":"penfolds-st-henri-shiraz-2019","title":"Penfolds St Henri Shiraz 2019","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan role=\"presentation\" dir=\"ltr\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eSt Henri is a time-honoured and alternative expression of shiraz, and an intriguing counterpoint to Grange. It is unusual amongst \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan role=\"presentation\" dir=\"ltr\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ehigh quality Australian red wines as it does not rely on any new oak. Released for the first time by Penfolds in the early 1950s (first \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan role=\"presentation\" dir=\"ltr\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ecommercial vintage 1957), it gained a new lease of life in the 1990s as its quality and distinctive style became better understood. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan role=\"presentation\" dir=\"ltr\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eProudly, a wine style that hasn’t succumbed to the dictates of fashion or commerce.

It is matured in an assortment of old large vats that allow the wine to \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan role=\"presentation\" dir=\"ltr\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003edevelop, imparting minimal, if any oak character. Although a small proportion of cabernet may sneak into the blend, the focal \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan role=\"presentation\" dir=\"ltr\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003epoint for St Henri remains Shiraz.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan role=\"presentation\" dir=\"ltr\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eColour: Plum red with a crimson rim. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan role=\"presentation\" dir=\"ltr\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eNose: Such promise! The first impression is unabashedly St Henri. A charming shiraz, always an outlier among its peers. Here you will find no new oak influence, none required, the very essence of shiraz gently matured in large, seasoned vats.\u003cbr role=\"presentation\"\u003eClose examination calls for a wine glass of generous proportions. Swirl, allow the aromatics to emerge slowly, gently. The dark fruits are first to show their credentials... blackberries and mulberries generously adorned with fresh whipped cream. The crunchier red fruits appear next, pomegranate and cranberry. Exotic, enticing. There is a suggestion of mild paprika. A hint of liquorice, toasted fennel seed, dried mint. Meaty aromas, Greek lamb rubbed with olive oil, oregano and sea salt twirling on the rotisserie. From the charcutier, savoury bresaola and prosciutto. Burnished vintage leather.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan role=\"presentation\" dir=\"ltr\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ePalate: Structural descriptors don’t usually lead the charge for St Henri, but they are certainly faithful to the 2019 vintage. A fine graphite core. The warmth and creaminess of Mexican sauce with the weight of wild game: venison loin, braised hare. Eventually sweet custard flavours emerge, smooth and textural. Portuguese tart! A suggestion of fine salinity aligns with mouth-watering acidity, cleansing. As always with St Henri, restrained, no need to be showy. The dark cacoa tannins are so fine they could be spun from silk. Will age and evolve beautifully for decades.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Penfolds","offers":[{"title":"Shiraz \/ South Australia \/ 750ml","offer_id":43192755847392,"sku":"771759","price":158.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0525\/9087\/0694\/products\/SOTResizing_50_5e7dbdbd-b18e-4857-baef-3eb479bc390b.png?v=1746798610"},{"product_id":"penfolds-bin-707-cabernet-sauvignon-2019","title":"Penfolds Bin 707 Cabernet Sauvignon 2019","description":"\u003cp data-start=\"273\" data-end=\"486\" class=\"\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"relative -mx-px my-[-0.2rem] rounded px-px py-[0.2rem] transition-colors duration-100 ease-in-out\"\u003eThe 2019 vintage of Bin 707 continues Penfolds' legacy of crafting a rich and powerful Cabernet Sauvignon that exemplifies their 'House Style'.\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan class=\"relative -mx-px my-[-0.2rem] rounded px-px py-[0.2rem] transition-colors duration-100 ease-in-out\"\u003eThis wine is a blend of fruit from multiple South Australian regions, including McLaren Vale (41%), Coonawarra, Barossa Valley, and Padthaway.\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan class=\"relative -mx-px my-[-0.2rem] rounded px-px py-[0.2rem] transition-colors duration-100 ease-in-out\"\u003eThe grapes underwent fermentation and maturation in new American oak hogsheads for 18 months, imparting depth and complexity to the wine.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"488\" data-end=\"506\" class=\"\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"488\" data-end=\"506\"\u003eTasting Notes:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul data-start=\"507\" data-end=\"783\"\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"507\" data-end=\"641\" class=\"\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"509\" data-end=\"641\" class=\"\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"509\" data-end=\"518\"\u003eNose:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cspan class=\"relative -mx-px my-[-0.2rem] rounded px-px py-[0.2rem] transition-colors duration-100 ease-in-out\"\u003eThe bouquet is intense, featuring aromas of vanilla, cedar, and subtle hints of celery seed.
