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.

Deep crimson. Classic blackcurrant mulberry aromas with roasted chestnut, graphite notes, ample, yet elemental and multi-layered with plentiful pure blackcurrant mulberry fruits, fine persistent grainy/ muscular tannins, superb mid-palate richness and underlying mocha roasted chestnut notes.

Full-bodied and with proven cellaring potential, Bin 707 retains a secure place among the ranks of Australia’s finest cabernets.

Critic Scores

97 // Tyson Stelzer

"Coonawarra, Barossa Valley, Padthaway and McLaren Vale; matured 18 months in 100% new American oak The grand juxtaposition of densely compacted power and towering structure that set Bin 707 off with epic longevity are heightened in the cool nights of 2022. A deep singularity of blackcurrant and cassis sets the definition of varietal integrity, with all the impact of Penfolds’ new American oak impacting layers of high cocoa dark chocolate and immense tannin scaffolding. For all of its expansive proportions, it retains consummate control and tightly-coiled endurance that will sustain it confidently for half a century."

96 // James Halliday's Wine Companion

"As is to be expected, the 2022 Bin 707 appears almost opaque in the glass with a characteristic fruit weight and intensity of flavour. Densely packed, pure blackberry, black cherry and blackcurrant fruits with hints of baking spices, kirsch, cedar, choc-mint, ironstone, bay leaf, polished leather, berry cream, earth and coal dust. Powerful, muscular and weighty with an array of compact tannins and a thick-shouldered sway to its gait as it slowly trails away. A classic and one for the cellar."

96 // Campbell Mattinson

"Cabernet sauvignon from Coonawarra, Barossa Valley, Padthaway and McLaren Vale. 18 months in 100% new American oak. There’s an argument to say that this is the absolute archetype of the Penfolds style. Peppermint, vanilla, blackcurrant, bay leaves and woodsmoke, peppercorns wrapped in milk chocolate, black olive characters diving beneath the sweet headiness of the fruit and oak, graphite aspects too. It’s beautiful fruit, made in the Penfolds style, with sweet-balanced tannin leading out to a long, poised finish. 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."

95 // Huon Hooke

"Deep dense purple-red hue; coconut, mocha/coffee grounds and black fruits to sniff, very ripe and the high-toned varietal aromas are not there, instead the secondary and wood-matured characteristics rule. The wine is very full-bodied and dense, concentrated, power-packed and loaded with character. Lashings of oak and tannin. Needs a lot of time. (Coonawarra, Barossa Valley, Padthaway & McLaren Vale. 18 months in 100% new American oak) 03 JUL 2024"

98 // Ken Gargett – Winepilot.com

"The 2022 707 is a worthy successor to the stunning 2021, at least its equal. As usual, 707 sees Cabernet from a range of regions – Coonawarra, Barossa, Padthaway and McLaren Vale – matured in American oak, a year and a half, all new. A dark maroon hue, the aromas here include blackberries, licorice, axle grease, spices, coffee grinds, dark chocolate, soy and mocha, all contributing to an utterly sumptuous wine. A little time in the glass revealed further glories – a vibrant black cherry/cassis character, along with hints of delicatessen meats. The wine is poised, taut and offers exemplary focus, balance and intensity, along with great length, power and finesse. This is a truly superb 707, finishing as intensely as it started. It will provide pleasure for the long haul, at least 20 to 30 years."

Penfolds

Penfolds, a renowned winery steeped in history, traces its origins back to 1844 when it was founded by Dr. Christopher Rawson Penfold, a young English doctor, and his wife Mary. Nestled in Magill, on the outskirts of Adelaide, they established a humble cottage and planted vine cuttings from the South of France, laying the foundation for what would become an iconic winemaking legacy.

Fast forward to 1989, when Peter Gago joined the Penfolds team. With his exceptional talent and expertise, he ascended to the position of Chief Winemaker in 2002, leading a remarkable team of experienced winemakers. Under his guidance, they diligently uphold the traditions set by the previous owners and continually strive for excellence in winemaking.

Central to Penfolds' winemaking philosophy is their signature multi-regional blending approach. By sourcing grapes from diverse regions, such as Adelaide, the Barossa Valley, the Clare Valley, Coonawarra, Limestone Coast, and McLaren Vale, they craft wines that showcase the finest qualities of each terroir. These wines are a harmonious fusion of flavors, meticulously balanced to achieve an exceptional taste profile.

Penfolds' dedication to quality is evident not only in their grape selection but also in their winemaking techniques. Embracing the use of fine-grained American and French oak, along with barrel fermentation and maturation, they enhance the wines' complexity and character.

Throughout its existence, Penfolds has played a pivotal role in the evolution of winemaking not just in Australia but across the world. With a legacy spanning nearly two centuries, they have firmly established themselves as one of Australia's most esteemed and influential wineries.

Today, Penfolds sources grapes from an extensive network of over 220 vineyards scattered throughout Australia. From this vast collection, only the very best grapes are chosen, ensuring that every bottle bears the mark of the brand's uncompromising commitment to excellence. Whether enjoyed locally or savored by wine enthusiasts worldwide, Penfolds wines continue to exemplify the epitome of Australian winemaking mastery.
