Penfolds Bin 707 Cabernet Sauvignon (Gift Boxed)

Product Information: A blend of four regions – Coonawarra, Barossa Valley, Padthaway and McLaren Vale – from a cool vintage. The Penfolds Bin 707 Cabernet Sauvignon 2022 is a remarkable wine that has been matured for 16 months in American oak hogsheads that are 100% new. This wine has been crafted using exceptional grapes grown in Coonawarra, Wrattonbully, and Barossa Valley regions. The 2022 season was generally cool, with the prevailing conditions delaying harvest by several weeks. The extra hang hang-time allowed the grapes to develop lovely varietal characters and balanced ripe tannins. Bin 707 is a perfect cabernet sauvignon representation of Penfolds ‘House Style’: intensely-flavoured fruit; completion of fermentation and maturation in new oak; expressing a Penfolds understanding of multi-vineyard, multi-region fruit sourcing. Inspired by the iconic jet that took it to the world. The rich and powerful Bin 707 Cabernet Sauvignon, our first commercial release of a single cabernet-based wine, is linked to Max Schubert’s dream of making a great Australian red wine that could last at least 20 years. During the ‘50s and early ‘60s cabernet sauvignon was mostly used for blending, but Schubert’s breakthrough with the varietal as a stand-alone wine came in 1964 with inaugural vintage. Early Bin 707s were typically open fermented under wax-lined header boards and matured in seasoned old oak (rather than new oak). The wine was not made from 1970 to 1975 (when fruit was directed to other wines) nor in 1981, 1995, 2000, 2003, 2011 or 2017 (when fruit of the required style and quality was not available). Full-bodied and with proven cellaring potential, Bin 707 retains a secure place among the ranks of Australia’s finest cabernets. Maker: Penfolds has been a pioneer in the world of winemaking since its establishment in 1844 by Dr. Christopher and Mary Penfold. The company's success has been driven by a lineage of visionary winemakers who have pushed the development of the company to extraordinary, bold new heights. Mary Penfold's reign at the helm of Penfolds saw years of determination and endeavour, experimenting with new methods in wine production. In 1948, Max Schubert became the company's first Chief Winemaker and he propelled Penfolds onto the global stage with his experimentation of long-lasting wines - the creation of Penfolds Grange in the 1950s. Soon, the medals began flowing, and Grange quickly became one of the most revered wines around the world. In 2012, Penfolds released its most innovative project to date - 12 handcrafted ampoules of the rare 2004 Kalimna Block Cabernet Sauvignon. Today, Penfolds continues to hold dear the philosophies and legends that have driven the company's success since its establishment in 1844. Vineyard: In Coonawarra, spring's cooler temperatures led to nine days of sub-2°C weather. The deployment of frost fans proved effective in safeguarding vine shoots against these cold snaps. Warm weather prevailed in December, setting the stage for superb flowering and fruit-set conditions. Veraison was uniform across vineyards, leading to consistent grape development allowing flavour, tannin, and colour to flourish during the final ripening phase under near-perfect conditions. The Barossa Valley experienced cooler-than-average temperatures coupled with spring thunderstorms. Despite this, yields and grape quality surpassed expectations even among vines impacted by hail. A particularly arid yet cool December slowed down fruit-set, however, robust canopies played a pivotal role in driving up sugar levels and physiological maturity without the risk of dehydration at harvest time. The cooler growing season also fostered excellent acid retention which translated into grapes that were both finely structured and balanced. Padthaway encountered a frost event in October, but enjoyed an otherwise gentle growing season, free from extreme heat spikes or rain delays at harvest time. McLaren Vale reported only three days exceeding 35°C - half what was recorded for the previous year's vintage - resulting in a gradual harvest that allowed Cabernet Sauvignon grapes to be picked at their peak condition. Nose - Peppermint, Blackcurrant, Woodsmoke Peppermint, vanilla, blackcurrant, bay leaves and woodsmoke, peppercorns wrapped in milk chocolate. Palate - Cherry Chocolate, Sage, Savoury Olives Blackberry compote, cherry chocolate, nutmeg, bay leaf, sage herbals, iodine and Mediterranean black olive savoury notes. Finish - Thyme, Intense, Lingering Woodsy Spice This is a muscular red wine with the smoothness of oil. It looks good for drinking even now, as intense as it is, but it will outlive most of us.

Penfolds Superblend 802A Cabernet Shiraz

PENFOLDS Superblend 802A Cabernet Shiraz, South Australia

Penfolds Bin 95 Grange Shiraz (Label Damage)

Penfolds' triumph can be attributed to a lineage of visionary individuals and trailblazing innovators. Since its inception in 1844 and continuing to the present day, the fusion of science, artistry, and ground-breaking ideas has propelled Penfolds to the forefront of Australia's esteemed winemaking landscape. With an unwavering commitment to excellence, Penfolds has earned a well-deserved reputation as one of the country's most renowned and highly regarded winemakers. Established by Dr Christopher and Mary Penfold at Magill Estate in 1844, the founders embarked on planting the vine cuttings they had carefully transported during their voyage to Australia after the triumph of early sherries and fortified wines. With the company's expansion, Dr. Penfold's medical reputation flourished, allowing Mary Penfold to assume a greater role in running the winery. The early explorations into crafting Clarets and Rieslings garnered growing popularity, and upon Christopher's passing in 1870, Mary took on full responsibility for the winery. Under Mary's leadership, Penfolds experienced an era marked by determination and unwavering dedication. Upon Mary Penfold's retirement in 1884, passing the management reins to her daughter, Georgina, Penfolds had already established itself as a formidable force, accounting for one-third of South Australia's total wine production. Mary's pioneering spirit and commitment to innovation set an enduring agenda that continues to shape Penfolds' practices to this day. By the time of her passing in 1896, the foundation of the Penfolds legacy had been firmly laid. This legacy bore fruit, and by 1907, Penfolds had emerged as the largest winery in South Australia. A significant milestone occurred in 1948 when Max Schubert assumed the role of Penfolds' inaugural Chief Winemaker. Demonstrating unwavering loyalty and a penchant for innovation, Schubert embarked on a remarkable journey that would elevate Penfolds to international acclaim. It was during the 1950s that Schubert's ground-breaking experimentation with the production of long-lasting wines led to the creation of the iconic Penfolds Grange, catapulting the winery onto the global stage. Schubert's visionary contributions left an indelible mark on Penfolds' legacy. In 1959, while Schubert meticulously refined his groundbreaking Grange experiment in clandestine fashion, Penfolds embarked on another significant tradition known as 'bin wines.' The inaugural creation was a Shiraz crafted from the esteemed grapes of Penfolds' own vineyards in the Barossa Valley. This exceptional wine was aptly named after the storage location in the cellars where it gracefully matured. Thus, the iconic Kalimna Bin 28 emerged as the very first official wine bearing a Penfolds Bin number, marking the inception of a cherished lineage. In the late 20th century, the Penfolds board issued a decisive instruction to Max Schubert, urging him to resume the production of Grange. Schubert's unwavering determination and the undeniable excellence of the aged wine had swayed their decision. Before long, accolades and awards started pouring in, solidifying Grange's status as one of the world's most revered wines. In a testament to Schubert's exceptional contributions, he was honoured with the prestigious title of Decanter Magazine's Man of the Year in 1988. Furthermore, on the momentous occasion of its 50th anniversary, Penfolds Grange was granted a heritage listing in South Australia, underscoring its enduring significance and cultural value. Despite achieving tremendous success, Penfolds consistently refuses to rest on its laurels and Grange, the epitome of Penfolds' multi-district, multi-vineyard blending philosophy, stands as the pinnacle of Australian winemaking and holds an esteemed position as an officially recognized Heritage Icon of South Australia. This extraordinary wine represents the most powerful manifestation of Penfolds' unwavering commitment to crafting exceptional blends sourced from diverse vineyards across different regions. Grange has garnered widespread acclaim and is revered as a symbol of Australia's winemaking prowess, capturing the hearts of wine enthusiasts worldwide. Grange blossoms with 15 to 20 years of bottle age and better vintages can live and continue developing for decades. In combination with new American oak, it is decadently rich with layer upon layer of flavour that coats the tongue and generously lingers minutes after swallowing. Abundant aromas leap from a glass of Grange and defy the typical adjectives used by wine tasters. These are hedonistic aromas of rich, ripe fruits and spice, yet with an 'otherness' of which wine tasters speak of in hushed tones. The 1993 vintage is drinking well, but will improve with time. Peak drinking now to 2028. A blend of 86 percent shiraz, 14 percent cabernet sauvignon - the highest percentage of cabernet sauvignon in the history of Grange. Please note - there is label damage to this bottle. Please see pictures.

Penfolds RWT Bin 798 Shiraz (Gift Boxed)

Product Information: Beneath all the opulence and intensity, there is a lovely approachability to RWT. There is an earthy depth, with ironstone adding to the wine's aromatic profile. Layers continue to unfold with espresso and bitter chocolate adding richness, while rhubarb and fermented tea bring a unique edge. Indeed the French oak has been well tempered by the dark brooding Barossa Valley fruit. This vintage will reward several years of cellaring. This RWT Bin 798 Shiraz 2022 comes gift boxed. The initials RWT stand for ‘Red Winemaking Trial’, the name given to the project internally when developmental work began in 1995. Naturally, now no longer a ‘trial’, its style is opulent and fleshy, contrasting with Grange, which is more muscular and assertive. RWT is made from fruit primarily selected for its aromatic qualities and plush texture. The result is a wine that helps to redefine Barossa shiraz at the highest quality level. RWT wines are built for the long haul, with the precision, concentration and balance to age for many years.

Today, Penfolds continues to hold dear the philosophies and legends that have driven the company's success since its establishment in 1844. Vineyard: The Barossa Valley enjoyed near average winter rainfall influenced by various climate patterns. The impact of La Niña in South Australia was minimal over the growing season. Heading into budburst, soil moisture levels were on the lower side due to below-average rainfall in August and September. While spring was generally warm, temperatures remained modest for much of the season. October brought its share of challenges with heavy rains and isolated hail damage from thunderstorms late in the month. November continued the trend of above-average rainfall, while December stayed dry. The summer months were marked by temperate conditions, with only 11 days exceeding 35°C and no extreme heat events above 40°C. Ideal weather during harvest time - with significant day-to-night temperature shifts -allowed canopies to maintain health and support sugar development and phenolic maturity in the grapes without risking desiccation. These conditions culminated in a vintage that allowed winemakers to harvest grapes at their peak ripeness and freshness. Nose - Dark Fruits, Walnut, Allspice Walnut, clove, nutmeg, pepper and dark fruits on the nose. Palate - Ripe Plum & Black Fruits, Red Earth, Espresso Dusting of espresso grounds alongside plum, black fruits, red earth and almond. White cherry and cherry pip lead, their fruitiness matched by chocolate undertones. Finish - Oak Spice, Confection, Mouth-coating Tannins Red and blue fruits come forward - mulberries and red currants - offering a spectrum of berry flavours and subtle spiciness of pink peppercorns.
