✨ Technical Specifications
Penfolds Bin 111A Shiraz is an extraordinary, ultra-rare 'Special Bin' release that represents the absolute pinnacle of Penfolds' winemaking craft. Sourced from exceptional parcels in South Australia, this monumental wine is a masterclass in regional blending, combining the opulent, structural power of Barossa Valley Shiraz (specifically from Gomersal) with the aromatic complexity and elegant acidity of Eden Valley Shiraz. Matured in 100% new French oak hogsheads, Bin 111A follows in the legendary footsteps of historic Penfolds Special Bins like the iconic 1962 Bin 60A. It is a wine of immense concentration, seamless balance, and profound depth, crafted only in exceptional vintages when parcels of singular character reveal themselves to the winemaking team.
🍾 About the Producer
Established in 1844 by Dr. Christopher and Mary Penfold at Magill Estate in the Mount Lofty foothills, Penfolds represents one of the foundational cornerstones of Australian fine wine. Over nearly two centuries, the house evolved from crafting fortified tonics to pioneering modern multi-regional and multi-vineyard blending across South Australia's premier terroirs, including the Barossa Valley, McLaren Vale, and Coonawarra. Soils span from rich terra rossa over limestone to weathered ironstone and alluvial clays under warm Mediterranean climates tempered by maritime breezes. Under the long-term stewardship of Chief Winemaker Peter Gago, the house adheres to Sustainable Winegrowing Australia standards while preserving an unmistakable house style defined by meticulous fruit classification, submerged-cap fermentation, and structured maturation in American and French oak hogsheads. Benchmark bottlings such as Grange (Bin 95), Bin 707 Cabernet Sauvignon, Bin 389 Cabernet Shiraz, and Yattarna Chardonnay define the apex of collectible New World viticulture.
