✨ Technical Specifications
Penfolds Bin 149 Cabernet Sauvignon represents a bold, modern chapter in the historic winery's legacy: the 'Wine of the World' philosophy. This ambitious bottling seamlessly bridges the Northern and Southern hemispheres by blending rich, structured Cabernet Sauvignon sourced from prestigious Napa Valley vineyards with a carefully selected portion of exceptional South Australian Cabernet Sauvignon. The name itself pays homage to the percentage of Australian fruit in the inaugural vintage. Matured in a combination of French and American oak, Bin 149 showcases Penfolds' signature house style—characterized by intense dark fruit, structural complexity, and seamless integration—while challenging traditional geographical boundaries of winemaking.
🍾 About the Producer
Founded in 1844 by Dr. Christopher Rawson Penfold and his wife Mary at the Magill Estate in South Australia, Penfolds is one of Australia's oldest and most iconic wine producers. The estate achieved legendary international acclaim during the 1950s under visionary chief winemaker Max Schubert, who created Penfolds Grange and revolutionized the country's winemaking techniques. Driven by a celebrated philosophy of multi-regional and multi-varietal blending, Penfolds sources exceptional fruit across historic Australian terroirs—such as the Barossa Valley, McLaren Vale, and Coonawarra—as well as select premier global regions. The house is universally revered for powerful, impeccably structured, and long-lived wines, led by its flagship Grange, Bin 707 Cabernet Sauvignon, and celebrated Bin series.
