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.
🍾 wine.about_producer
Founded in 1844 by Dr. Christopher and Mary Penfold at Magill Estate near Adelaide, Penfolds is one of Australia's oldest and most iconic wineries, now headquartered in Nuriootpa, South Australia. The estate is celebrated for pioneering a unique house style centered on multi-regional and multi-vineyard blending, a philosophy perfected by legendary winemaker Max Schubert in the mid-20th century. Penfolds is globally renowned for its robust, structured red wines aged in premium oak, most notably its flagship Grange—a rich, collectible Shiraz-based blend—alongside acclaimed expressions like Bin 389 Cabernet Shiraz and Bin 707 Cabernet Sauvignon. Today, while maintaining its deep South Australian roots, the producer has expanded its winemaking footprint to include exceptional terroirs in California, Bordeaux, and beyond.
