✨ Technical Specifications
Penfolds Bin 23 Pinot Noir represents a bold, contemporary chapter in the storied history of this iconic South Australian powerhouse. First released in 2009, the wine takes its name from Cellar 23 at the historic Magill Estate, where it was traditionally matured. While Penfolds is legendary for its monumental, structured Cabernets and Shirazes, Bin 23 showcases the house's capability to master the notoriously temperamental Pinot Noir grape. Sourced primarily from the cool, high-altitude vineyards of the Adelaide Hills, the fruit benefits from the region's chilly nights and misty mornings, which preserve the grape's delicate aromatics and bright acidity. Winemakers employ thoughtful techniques, including partial whole-cluster fermentation and maturation in French oak barriques, to craft a Pinot Noir that is distinctly Penfolds—rich, textural, and complex, with a beautiful interplay of red cherry, savory spice, and earthy undertones.
🍾 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.
