✨ Technical Specifications
First released in 1993 with the 1990 vintage, Penfolds Bin 407 was developed to showcase the rewards of multi-regional blending with a focus on varietally pure Cabernet Sauvignon. Inspired by its upscale sibling, Bin 707, Bin 407 offers a more accessible yet highly structured expression of the grape, sourcing fruit from premier South Australian regions such as Coonawarra, Padthaway, Barossa Valley, and Wrattonbully. The wine is matured in a combination of French and American oak hogsheads, a technique that imparts a sophisticated spice and structural depth to the core of rich cassis, mint, and dark chocolate flavors. This approach has secured Bin 407's reputation as a definitive benchmark for Australian Cabernet Sauvignon.
🍾 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.
