Penfold’s Shiraz / Cabernet Max’s

A vibrant and fresh Bin 8 release that will offer both immediate and patient drinking enjoyment. Cabernet and Shiraz – another successful varietal combination of another time-honoured style. If it’s not broken…! – PETER GAGO PENFOLDS CHIEF WINEMAKER OVERVIEW Bin 8 has been crafted in the traditional Penfolds style. Ripe balanced fruit flavours are supported by softly integrated oak resulting in an impressive smooth red wine. It was introduced in response to a heightened 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 Bin 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. MATURATION 12 months in French Oak (5% new) and American Oak (6% new) VINTAGE CONDITIONS Above-average winter and early spring rainfall offer
