✨ Technical Specifications
First released in 1964, Penfolds Bin 707 is the ultimate expression of Cabernet Sauvignon in the Penfolds portfolio, representing the Cabernet counterpart to the legendary Grange. The wine's name was inspired by the Boeing 707, reflecting the era's excitement for transatlantic jet travel. True to Penfolds' house style, Bin 707 is a multi-regional blend, sourcing the finest fruit from premium South Australian regions such as the Barossa Valley, Coonawarra, Padthaway, and McLaren Vale. It is celebrated for its intense varietal character, massive structure, and luxurious maturation in 100% new American oak hogsheads for approximately 18 months, resulting in a rich, complex, and highly collectible masterpiece.
🍾 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.
