Penfolds Bin 90A is a legendary and exceedingly rare 'Special Bin' wine, crafted as a monumental, one-off release from the exceptional 1990 vintage. Following in the footsteps of the mythical 1962 Bin 60A, Bin 90A represents the absolute pinnacle of Penfolds' multi-regional blending philosophy. It seamlessly marries structured, elegant Cabernet Sauvignon from the terra rossa soils of Coonawarra with rich, opulent Shiraz sourced from the historic Kalimna Vineyard in the Barossa Valley. Matured in premium American oak hogsheads, this wine is celebrated by collectors worldwide for its extraordinary depth, complexity, and seamless integration, standing as a monumental chapter in Australian winemaking history.
🍾 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.
