Bin 707 perfectly reflects the Penfolds ‘House Style’ through a cabernet sauvignon lens: intensely-flavoured fruit; completion of fermentation and maturation in new oak; expressing a Penfolds understanding of multivineyard, multi-region fruit sourcing. Bin 707 was first vintaged in 1964. The wine was not made from 1970 to 1975 (when fruit was directed to other Penfolds wines) nor in 1981, 1995, 2000, 2003 or 2011 (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.
Certainly the sum of its parts…
McLaren Vale: front palate plushness, and sea spray.
Coonawarra: terra rossa red-dustiness, earth.
Barossa Valley: a solid core, and a drive that stridently lunges to the back-palate.
A mid-palate richness with layers of discrete regional cabernet tannins …In every sense, ‘well-connected’.
