✨ Technical Specifications
Created to commemorate Penfolds' landmark 180th anniversary, Bin 180 Cabernet Shiraz is a masterclass in the classic Australian blend. Sourced from the prized terra rossa soils of Coonawarra, this rare, limited-edition release pays homage to the historic bin codes and blending philosophy pioneered by Max Schubert. It marries the structured, mint-and-cassis-scented elegance of Coonawarra Cabernet Sauvignon with the rich, plush, and spicy depth of premium South Australian Shiraz. Aged in premium French oak hogsheads, it represents a monumental milestone in Penfolds' winemaking history, showcasing exceptional structural integrity, complexity, and cellaring potential.
🍾 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.
