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.
🍾 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.
