Overview
Overview
Penfolds Bin 707 continues to reinforce its reputation as the international benchmark for Australian Cabernet Sauvignon. Made from a multi-district blend, it transcends the vagaries of vintage, achieving a consistent style and outstanding quality each year.
The Bin 707 style has intense varietal definition combined with new American oak to produce wines of great richness, power, harmony and concentration. Reflecting the excellent vintage in Coonawarra, the 1993 Bin 707 was made predominantly from Coonawarra Cabernet blended with smaller parcels of Padthaway and Adelaide Hills fruit which add extra depth of flavour and complexity.

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.
Rainfall eased in late January and autumn was generally fine, although temperatures remained cool. The harvest period was dry in most regions, apart from scattered rain in the Hunter Valley, and the long autumn enabled full sugar and flavour ripeness to be achieved. Overall quality was very good.
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.
Our current Penfolds winemaking team has more than 100 years between them as Penfolds winemakers. They are constantly refining and improving their work, whilst honouring the winemaking techniques of their predecessors.
