Penfolds Bin 704 Cabernet Sauvignon represents a fascinating cross-hemisphere winemaking endeavor, designed as a mirror image to the legendary Australian Bin 407. Sourced from the sun-drenched vineyards of Napa Valley, California, this wine is crafted using Penfolds' historic multi-vineyard blending philosophy, yet redefined through a Northern Hemisphere lens. It is a 100% Cabernet Sauvignon that undergoes maturation in French oak barriques, blending Napa's signature opulent, dark fruit profile with the structural precision and savory complexity that Penfolds is globally renowned for. The name itself, 704, is a clever inversion of 407, symbolizing this dialogue between Australian winemaking heritage and prime American terroir.
🍾 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.
