✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Penfolds Bin 169 Cabernet Sauvignon represents a contemporary, single-region approach to premium Australian winemaking, capturing the essence of Coonawarra's celebrated terra rossa soils. First created in 1973 and revived in the 21st century, Bin 169 stands as a French-oak-matured counterpart to the legendary, American-oak-aged Bin 707. The wine is a testament to Coonawarra's unique terroir—a narrow strip of red clay over limestone—which imparts a distinctive structural elegance, fine-grained tannins, and intense cassis and mint characters. Crafted only in exceptional vintages, it marries Penfolds' meticulous winemaking philosophy with the cool-climate refinement of one of the world's premier Cabernet Sauvignon regions.
🍾 Om vinhuset / producenten
Penfolds blev grundlagt i 1844 af dr. Christopher Rawson Penfold og hans hustru Mary på Magill Estate i South Australia og er i dag et af Australiens ældste og mest ikoniske vinhuse. Ejendommen opnåede legendarisk international anerkendelse i 1950'erne under den visionære chefvinmager Max Schubert, som skabte Penfolds Grange og revolutionerede landets vinfremstilling. Drevet af en berømt filosofi om at blande på tværs af regioner og druesorter udvælger Penfolds enestående druer fra historiske australske terroirs – herunder Barossa Valley, McLaren Vale og Coonawarra – samt fra udvalgte internationale topområder. Vinhuset er verdenskendt for kraftfulde, upåklageligt strukturerede og særdeles lagringsværdige vine anført af flagskibet Grange, Bin 707 Cabernet Sauvignon og den berømmede Bin-serie.
