✨ 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
Established in 1844 by Dr. Christopher and Mary Penfold at Magill Estate in the Mount Lofty foothills, Penfolds represents one of the foundational cornerstones of Australian fine wine. Over nearly two centuries, the house evolved from crafting fortified tonics to pioneering modern multi-regional and multi-vineyard blending across South Australia's premier terroirs, including the Barossa Valley, McLaren Vale, and Coonawarra. Soils span from rich terra rossa over limestone to weathered ironstone and alluvial clays under warm Mediterranean climates tempered by maritime breezes. Under the long-term stewardship of Chief Winemaker Peter Gago, the house adheres to Sustainable Winegrowing Australia standards while preserving an unmistakable house style defined by meticulous fruit classification, submerged-cap fermentation, and structured maturation in American and French oak hogsheads. Benchmark bottlings such as Grange (Bin 95), Bin 707 Cabernet Sauvignon, Bin 389 Cabernet Shiraz, and Yattarna Chardonnay define the apex of collectible New World viticulture.
