✨ Technical Specifications
Penfolds Quantum Bin 98 Cabernet Sauvignon represents a bold, modern chapter in the historic winery's legacy: the creation of a 'Wine of the World.' This ambitious bottling transcends traditional borders by blending exceptional Cabernet Sauvignon sourced from the prestigious vineyards of Napa Valley with a select portion of premium South Australian Shiraz. This dual-hemisphere approach marries the opulent, plush dark fruit characteristics of California terroir with the structural intensity and spice of Australian Shiraz, all unified by Penfolds' signature house style. Matured in a combination of new French and American oak barrels, Quantum Bin 98 is a testament to global winemaking synergy, offering a complex, powerful, and deeply layered profile that honors Penfolds' centuries-old blending philosophy.
🍾 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.
