Tasting Notes
Deep red colour. Peacock spread of aromas including liquorice, eucalyptus and blackberries. The rich palate of very ripe fruit is joined by rich tannins from American oak. The first vintage of Bin 389 was 1969. The Bin series was created by Penfolds in 1959 where some of their finest wines were stored in Bins in Magill Estate, just 8 km east of Adelaide. Christopher Rawson Penfold and his wife Mary arrived in Australia from West Sussex, England, in 1844. The doctor was a firm believer in the medical benefits of wine. The couple planted a vineyard and made wine which Penfold prescribed to his patients from his medical practice on the eastern outskirts of Adelaide. As his clinic grew, Mary became more and more involved in running the winery and also oversaw viticulture and grape blending. So were the beginnings of what was to become Australia’s most famous wine brand
Pairings
Enjoyable on its own and delicious with stir-fried and roast pork and chicken dishes (Tandoori too). Beef and steak. And braised and roast duck, and lamb dishes. Pairs very well also with braised doufu and mushroom dishes
