Overview

Overview

First released in 1993 with the 1990 vintage, 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 possesses structure and rich depth of flavour. Textbook Cabernet Sauvignon, the expressive Bin 407 demonstrates the reward of Penfolds multi-regional blending philosophy. 

The 2023 vintage is built for longevity, with the greatest reward reserved for those with the patience to cellar. Elegantly composed and finely structured, it reveals expressive dark Cabernet fruits, with savoury oak and understated earthy complexity. Presented in a signature Penfolds gift box, it offers a considered way to honour special occasions – crafted for gifting, sharing, and marking life’s memorable moments.

Taste Description

Taste Description

Nose

First, the savoury allure of pimento olives and the herbal freshness of bay leaf, blending with the scent of cedar wood. The earthy fragrance of forest floor and bramble fruits are present, while warm toasted spices and Szechuan pepper add complexity. Subtle notes of capsicum and radicchio are balanced by the ripe sweetness of plum and a mix of red fruits. A botanical hint of juniper and the scent of roasted thyme and chicken. A final note of freshly ground paprika rounds out a generous aromatic profile.

Flavours and Palate

A burst of red fruit delivers a vibrant and lively mouthfeel. Steely tannins provide a structured backbone, complementing the darker tones of ripe forest fruit and a savoury hint of olives. A minerality, reminiscent of blue slate and ironstone, enhances the wine’s complexity. Subtle notes of tobacco lend a rich, earthy quality, contributing to a tightly coiled palate. A young Bin 407 Cabernet Sauvignon certainly requires a decant to open up.

Map of South Australia

South Australia

Home to the oldest vines in the country, and no less than 18 wine growing regions, South Australia accounts for almost 50% of Australia’s wine production. The Barossa Valley, McLaren Vale, Langhorne Creek and Coonawarra are well known for their world class reds, with Adelaide Hills, Clare Valley and Eden Valley praised for their exceptional Chardonnay and Riesling.

Vintage Conditions

McLaren Vale had significantly higher rainfall than the long-term average, with cooler spring temperatures affecting flowering and fruit set, and isolated hail further reducing yields. However, a return to normal warmer and drier conditions in summer brought the vines back into balance. Mild conditions led into harvest, producing grapes with concentrated flavours and ripe tannins. Padthaway also experienced above-average rainfall in the early growing season with cooler spring temperatures impacting vine development and resulting in a later flowering period. Conditions improved at the onset of summer with 12 days recorded over 35°C and favourable weather for flowering. The harvest was without significant heat spikes, yielding exceptional parcels of Cabernet Sauvignon. The Barossa Valley experienced near-average winter rainfall and a drier lead up to budburst. Thunderstorms brought unpredictable wet and windy weather in October and November, delaying flowering. Cooler-than-average temperatures prevailed for most of the growing season, but the harvest period was moderately warm, allowing for the development of high-quality grapes. Wrattonbully encountered above-average rainfall and below-average temperatures, resulting in a cooler, wetter season that delayed ripening. Longer hang time in the vineyard promoted the development of desirable Cabernet Sauvignon varietal markers.

The Penfolds Team

Key to the success of Penfolds has been a lineage of visionary winemakers. There have only ever been four Chief Winemakers at the helm of Penfolds – Max Schubert, Don Ditter, John Duval and Peter Gago, each a custodian of a rich winemaking tradition that goes back for more than 170 years.
