Penfolds Bin 707 2021

Penfolds Bin 707 2021 is a full-bodied red wine produced from Cabernet Sauvignon grapes in South Australia. In operation since 1844 at the Magill Estate near Adelaide, Penfolds is the sine qua non of Australian wine. The winery team is led by the masterly winemaker Peter Gago. The 2021 iteration of the estate`s Bin 707 cuvée uses fruit from vineyards in Coonawarra, Barossa Valley and Wrattonbully. it was matured in 100% new American oak hogsheads for 16 months. "Blackish purple. Rich, satisfying nose. Sweet and soft. Very definitely a South Australian Cabernet, a hemisphere away from Bordeaux, but it works. Complete and flattering without too much dryness on the end. Although the official notes suggest that the drinking window for this wine starts in 2026, I think it’s readier to enjoy than many thanks to the ripeness of the tannins. But I’m sure it will go on and on." Jancis Robinson MW, 2023
