✨ Technical Specifications

Penfolds Bin 620 is one of the rarest and most legendary 'Special Bin' wines in Australian history, crafted only in exceptional vintages when Coonawarra Cabernet Sauvignon and Shiraz reach absolute perfection. First created in 1966 by the legendary Max Schubert, this mythical blend was not resurrected until the extraordinary 2008 vintage under Chief Winemaker Peter Gago. Sourced from the iconic terra rossa soils of Coonawarra, Bin 620 represents the pinnacle of Penfolds' blending philosophy. The wine undergoes meticulous fermentation and is matured in premium French and American oak hogsheads, resulting in an incredibly complex, structured, and muscular red with profound cellaring potential. It is highly coveted by collectors worldwide as a monumental expression of South Australian winemaking heritage.

🍾 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.
