Penfolds Bin 407 Cabernet Sauvignon 1997

Founded in 1844 by Dr Christopher and Mary Penfold, Penfolds is one of Australia's most prestigious and internationally recognised wine producers. Originally established at Magill Estate, near Adelaide, the winery has played a fundamental role in the development of Australian winemaking. Throughout its history, Penfolds has combined tradition, innovation and a distinctive approach to winemaking, becoming internationally renowned for iconic wines such as Grange, Bin 707 and Bin 389.

First released in 1993 with the 1990 vintage, Bin 407 was created in response to the growing availability of high-quality Cabernet Sauvignon grapes in South Australia. Inspired by the celebrated Bin 707, it was conceived to highlight the varietal character of Cabernet Sauvignon while maintaining the structure, concentration and ageing potential that define the Penfolds style.

The grapes are sourced from carefully selected vineyards across South Australia's renowned wine regions, including Coonawarra, Wrattonbully, McLaren Vale, Padthaway, Barossa Valley and Adelaide Hills. The blend varies according to each vintage, reflecting the character of the individual regions and the winemaking team's pursuit of balance and complexity. The wine is matured in a combination of French and American oak barrels, allowing the fruit to integrate with subtle spice and oak nuances.

Penfolds Bin 407 displays a deep garnet-red colour and an expressive bouquet of blackcurrant, blackberry and dark plum, complemented by notes of violet, mint, cedar, liquorice and spice. On the palate, it is generous and concentrated, with layers of dark fruit, finely structured tannins and balanced acidity. The oak influence adds depth and complexity while preserving the distinctive character of Cabernet Sauvignon.

A refined yet powerful South Australian Cabernet Sauvignon, combining elegance, structure and excellent ageing potential. Bin 407 is a distinctive expression of Penfolds' winemaking philosophy and one of Australia's most recognisable Cabernet Sauvignon wines.
