Penfolds Bin 389 Cabernet Shiraz 2012 Cork 澳洲奔富紅酒赤霞珠設拉子木塞

Bin 389 是葛蘭許原創人Max Schubert 的另一佳作。葡萄酒在葛蘭許用過的橡 木桶中熟化，因此被俗稱為“窮人的葛蘭許”或“小葛蘭許”。 Bin 389 首創於 1960 年，為奔富酒莊建立了紅葡萄酒的市場地位。集合了赤霞珠的清晰結構及 設拉子的豐厚口感，Bin 389 成功地體現了奔富酒莊在平衡果實與橡木風味的精 湛釀酒技術。

Bin 389 is often referred to as ‘Poor Man’s Grange’ or ‘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 to build Penfolds solid reputation with red wine drinkers. Combining the structure of Cabernet with the richness of Shiraz, Bin 389 also exemplifies Penfolds skill in judiciously balancing fruit and oak. 

“上等Bin 389 更優雅地體現了南澳洲2012 年份的特點。”
“這一年份的葡萄酒幾乎感受不到美國橡木桶的影響... 也許使用的是法國橡木桶！”
“來自東部 / 南部、麥克拉倫谷 / 巴羅莎谷的兩種相去勝遠的葡萄品種：設拉子和赤霞珠；是的，這就是Bin 389！”

“A classy Bin 389 reflection of a relatively more elegant and refined
South Australian 2012 vintage.”
“A year in which the American oak has minimal if any overt effect…
could be French!”
“Divergent South-East and Barossa/McLaren Vale fruit sourcing;
Two varieties, Cabernet and Shiraz; Yes, Bin 389!”

Most areas of South Australia, including Wrattonbully and the Barossa Valley, were impacted by lower than average rainfall across the winter period. This resulted in ideal stress through spring flowering. Variable conditions across all regions through October to December, merged to a mild summer with a few short periods of heat. The mild daytime temperatures and cool evenings across most of the ripening period allowed impressive flavour development without inflated baumés. Balanced canopies and fruit load provided even ripening throughout veraison. Warm dry conditions continued throughout harvest allowing fruit to be picked in optimal condition. Smaller berry and bunch sizes were noticeable in most regions. This, coupled with favourable weather conditions, induced great results for traditional quality markers – colour, tannin profile, fruit concentration and flavour depth.
