✨ Technical Specifications
Named in honor of Thomas Hyland, the pioneering son-in-law of Penfolds founders Dr. Christopher and Mary Penfold, who helped propel the winery into a national powerhouse during the late 19th century. This Cabernet Sauvignon is crafted to showcase the rich, expressive terroir of South Australia's premium wine regions. Traditionally matured in a combination of French and American oak, it delivers the signature Penfolds house style of rich dark fruit, subtle minty eucalyptus notes, and structured, fine-grained tannins that pay homage to the brand's historic legacy.
🍾 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.
