Understanding Penfolds, Bin 407 Cabernet Sauvignon, South Australia, South Australia
Grapes for Bin 407 are meticulously chosen from superior vineyards in renowned regions like Coonawarra, Barossa Valley and McLaren Vale. These areas are famed for their diverse microclimates and soil types, which contribute to the complexity and character of Cabernet Sauvignon. Penfolds' winemaking approach for Bin 407 involves careful grape selection and blending to achieve a consistent style and quality. The wine undergoes fermentation and is then aged for 12 months in a combination of new and seasoned French and American oak. This maturation process is integral to the wine's profile, adding layers of complexity, integrating the tannins and enhancing its ageing potential. Bin 407 displays rich black fruit, mint, chocolate and cedar in a robust yet refined palate with firm tannins that provide excellent backbone and longevity. Bin 407 can be enjoyed young but also has the potential to age gracefully.
