✨ Technical Specifications
Penfolds Bin 920 is one of the estate's legendary 'Special Bin' wines, a rare and highly coveted release created only in exceptional years when fruit quality and character warrant a unique expression. Most famously represented by the extraordinary 1990 vintage, Bin 920 showcases the classic Australian Cabernet Shiraz blend at its absolute zenith. The wine represents a masterful marriage of Coonawarra Cabernet Sauvignon, which provides structure, refined tannins, and leafy cassis notes, with rich, plush Barossa Valley Shiraz contributing opulent dark plum fruit and spice. Matured in premium oak, this wine is celebrated for its monumental complexity, seamless integration, and astonishing longevity, standing alongside iconic siblings like Bin 60A as a testament to Penfolds' blending mastery.
🍾 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.
