Penfolds Bin 8 is a classic Australian blend of cabernet sauvignon and shiraz. The wine was developed in 196 because there was suddenly great interest from Europe in this combination of grape varieties that was very unusual in France. Bin 8 fits perfectly with Penfold's philosophy of multi-region, multi-vineyard wines. The winemakers source grapes from all over the south of Australia. This allows them to limit the influences of vintages and create wines with a consistent style and taste every year. Penfolds Bin 8 is actually a real food wine, but because of its medium-weight, soft style, it is also nice to enjoy as a glass in itself.
