It’s rich but distinctly Cabernet. Fabulous wine. Emphatic approval - Gary Walsh

Launched with the 1990 vintage in 1993, Bin 407 was developed in response to the increasing availability of high quality Cabernet Sauvignon fruit. Inspired by Bin 707, Bin 407 offers varietal definition and approachability, yet still with structure and depth of flavour. Textbook Cabernet Sauvignon, the varietally expressive Bin 407 highlights the rewards of Penfolds multi-region, multi-vineyard blending, with a core of ripe fruit supported by sensitive use of French and American oak.

"The thing I really like is that it's pure cabernet made unashamedly for cabernet lovers – it's not a shiraz wannabe. It tastes of nothing other than cabernet. There's a sticky-date sweetness through the aftertaste and gorgeous, velvety texture. Real length too, and real potential."  Campbell Mattinson

The 2006 Bin 407 Cabernet Sauvignon was sourced from vineyards in Robe, Coonawarra, McLaren Vale, Langhorne Creek and Barossa Valley. The wine was matured for 12 months in French and American hogsheads, 15% new with the balance in older oak.

"Medium-deep crimson. Fragrant violet and blackcurrant aromas with dark chocolate and mocha notes. A dense and weighty wine with blackcurrant, dark chocolate and chinotto flavours and plentiful al dente, leafy textures. Finishes firm and minerally long. Should improve with age. Predominantly Robe fruit. Drink now to 2036.

Vintage Conditions: A dry, warm winter promoted good bud fruitfulness followed by a spring with limited frost concerns which meant overall vine health was excellent. January was hot and dry, tempered by a cool February that steadied ripening. Warm weather at harvest ensured full flavour development."  Penfolds 

Wine region map of South Australia

South Australia

South Australian is responsible for more than half the production of all Australian wine. It is home to more than 900 wineries across 18 wine regions. The regions are Adelaide Hills, Adelaide Plains, Barossa Valley, Clare Valley, Coonawarra, Currency Creek, Eden Valley, Kangaroo Island, Langhorne Creek, McLaren Vale, Mount Benson, Mount Gambier, Padthaway, Riverland, Robe, Southern Fleurieu, Southern Flinders Ranges and Wrattonbully.

Many of the well-known names in the South Australian wine industry established their first vineyards in the late 1830s and early 1840s. The first vines in McLaren Vale were planted at Reynella in 1839 and Penfold's established Magill Estate on the outskirts of Adelaide in 1844.

South Australia has a vast diversity in geography and climate which allows the State to be able to produce a range of grape varieties - from cool climate Riesling in the Clare and Eden Vallies to the big, full bodied Shiraz wines of the Barossa Valley and McLaren Vale. Two of Australia's best-known wines, Penfolds Grange and Henschke Hill of Grace, are produced here. There is much to discover in South Australia for the wine lover.
