Penfolds Bin 407 South Australia Cabernet Sauvignon 2024

Product Description

Penfolds Bin 407 South Australia Cabernet Sauvignon 2024 is a modern expression of one of the world's most celebrated grape varieties, combining the unmistakable character of Australian Cabernet Sauvignon with the consistency and craftsmanship that define Penfolds. Introduced in 1990, Bin 407 was created to showcase Cabernet Sauvignon in its purest form, highlighting varietal precision while embracing Penfolds' signature multi-regional blending philosophy.

Sourced from premium vineyards across South Australia, Bin 407 brings together vibrant fruit, refined structure and impressive depth in a wine that is approachable from release yet rewards careful cellaring. Layers of blackcurrant, cassis and dark plum are supported by fine tannins, subtle oak and savoury complexity, resulting in a Cabernet Sauvignon that is both powerful and remarkably composed.

Winery Overview

Established in 1844, Penfolds is recognised as one of Australia's most influential wineries, producing benchmark wines that have shaped the country's reputation on the global stage. While labels such as Grange and Bin 389 have achieved legendary status, Bin 407 has become the benchmark for Penfolds Cabernet Sauvignon, demonstrating the winery's ability to capture varietal purity while maintaining consistency across vintages.

Today, Bin 407 is regarded as one of Australia's leading premium Cabernet Sauvignon wines, admired for its balance, longevity and unmistakable Penfolds style.

Region and Vintage Conditions
Fruit for the 2024 vintage was selected from several renowned South Australian wine regions, including Coonawarra, Wrattonbully, Padthaway, McLaren Vale and the Barossa Valley. Each region contributes a unique dimension, from Coonawarra's cassis and structure to the generosity and richness of warmer-climate vineyards.

The growing season provided excellent conditions for Cabernet Sauvignon, allowing slow flavour development, concentrated fruit expression and refined tannin maturity.

Source

Every vineyard parcel is selected for its individual character before being blended to create the distinctive Bin 407 style. This multi-regional approach allows Penfolds to maintain remarkable consistency while capturing the strengths of South Australia's finest Cabernet-growing regions.

Careful barrel selection and blending contribute to Bin 407's signature combination of structure, elegance and ageing potential.
