A softer, more approachable style, richly ripe fruit, subtle, more immediately drinkable structure.
Bin 8 has been crafted in the traditional Penfolds style. Ripe, balanced fruit tastes are supported by softly integrated oak resulting in a silky, smooth RED WINE. It was introduced in response to an interest in Cabernet Shiraz blends – a classic
Australian wine style that caught the attention of the international wine media.
Although Bin numbers were originally named after the original binning location after bottling, Bin 8 was given its number because it uses older oak previously used for Bin 128, Bin 28 and Bin 389 – with ‘8’ obviously providing the common thread.
“A contemporary fresh/bright expression of Australian Cabernet Shiraz, approachable earlier.”
“This is not a baby 389, nor does it pretend to be … it’s yet another duet from two proven varieties that meld and synergise effortlessly.”
McLaren Vale, Barossa Valley, Upper Adelaide
With above-average winter rainfalls and cool conditions that followed during the spring period, South Australian regions generally experienced a later budburst and disease pressures impacted to varied degrees across the state. Meticulous vineyard management was critical. Walking the vineyards in spring, soil moisture levels resulted in healthy shoot growth and early canopy development. Healthy vegetative growth continued during the cooler spring months and delayed veraison and Berry development in the new year. A few warm days at the end of January guaranteed the completion of veraison and commencement of the ripening season. Multiple rain events, often isolated, meant that attention to sub-regional detail was required with selective harvesting of pristine fruit. Low baumes at harvest coincided with Flavour development. With a focus on warmer regions, McLaren Vale and Barossa Valley fruit sourcing prevailed.
