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.
🍾 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.
