✨ Technical Specifications
Penfolds Bin 7 Cabernet Sauvignon Shiraz is one of the most legendary and elusive 'Special Bin' wines in Australian wine history. Most famously released as the mythical 1967 vintage, this wine represents the pinnacle of Penfolds' historic multi-regional blending philosophy pioneered by Max Schubert. It combined exceptional Cabernet Sauvignon from Coonawarra with rich, robust Shiraz from the Kalimna Vineyard in the Barossa Valley. Aged in premium oak hogsheads, Bin 7 was crafted as a show-stopping exhibition wine that exemplified the synergy of South Australia's two signature red grapes. Today, it is a holy grail for fine wine collectors, celebrated for its extraordinary longevity, seamless structure, and complex tertiary characters of leather, cedar, and dried dark fruits.
🍾 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.
