South Australia, Australia, Rotwein, Cabernet Sauvignon 0.75 l
Since its first bottling in 1964, the "Cabernet Sauvignon" with the barrel number BIN 707 has developed into one of the great classics of the house. It represents the typical Penfolds style with deep aromatic fruit, the best wood and great complexity. The fruit comes from McLaren Vale, Coonawarra, Barossa Valley, Wrattonbully, Robe and the Adelaide Hills and was matured 100% in new American oak for 18 months. The complexity of this Cabernet, its aromatic density and finesse - despite all its power - are so impressive that it has been awarded 98 points several times by leading wine critics. For example from JEB DUNNUCK and ROBERT PARKER.
The place of origin and "spiritual home" of the Penfolds Winery is the Magill Estate, just a few minutes from Adelaide. in 1844, Christopher and Mary Jenfeld planted vine cuttings that they had taken with them on their trip to Australia.
