✨ Tekniske specifikationer
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.
🍾 Om vinhuset / producenten
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.
