✨ Technical Specifications
Penfolds Bin 9 Cabernet Sauvignon was first released in 2012, marking a contemporary addition to the historic Bin series. It was created to showcase a modern, fruit-forward expression of South Australian Cabernet Sauvignon while remaining true to Penfolds' core philosophy of multi-regional blending. Sourced from premium vineyards across South Australia—including McLaren Vale, Coonawarra, and Wrattonbully—the wine is carefully crafted to highlight the bright, structural hallmarks of the variety. It is traditionally matured in French oak hogsheads, which imparts subtle spice and structural refinement without overwhelming the vibrant dark fruit character. This wine represents a bridge between Penfolds' rich heritage of robust reds and a sleeker, more immediate style of Australian Cabernet.
🍾 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.
