Overview

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. Bin 707 was first vintaged in 1964. The wine was not produced from 1970 to 1975 (when fruit was diverted to other wines) or in 1981, 1995, 2000, 2003, 2011, 2017, or 2020 (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.

Taste Description

PALATE

A first impression reveals that this release is not overtly fruit-dependent, although blackberry and mulberry fruits are instantly detected. Perhaps more of a savoury/earthy disposition, augmented by pan juices/jus and black olive, and laced with exotic spices; turmeric, bay leaf and pimento. An expansive, woven palate conveys this vinous deliciousness, with a positive tension assisted by seamless Cabernet tannins, that are at once granular, sleek. Structure and flavours are both sophisticated and complex… masterfully conjured and showcased via this noble variety, Cabernet Sauvignon.

VINTAGE CONDITIONS

In McLaren Vale, a wet spring with cooler temperatures and hail impacted flowering and fruit set, reducing yields. However, a return to warmer and drier summer conditions allowed vines to regain balance, resulting in a delayed harvest. The cool harvest conditions contributed to high-quality grapes, with small bunches and berries allowing for concentrated flavours and ripe tannins. Padthaway experienced a wet start to the season, with above-average rainfall in several months. Spring brought lower maximum temperatures and cloud cover, which slowed vine development. Despite a mid-level heatwave in December, the overall cooler and wetter growing season led to later flowering, fruit set, and veraison. The region avoided significant heat spikes during an orderly harvest, yielding exceptional parcels of Cabernet Sauvignon. The Barossa Valley faced a challenging vintage with near-average winter rainfall and a drier start to spring. This was followed by a cooler-than-average growing season punctuated by extreme weather events, including flash floods and thunderstorms. The persistent threat of disease required careful vineyard management. Nevertheless, the region enjoyed a moderately warm harvest with beneficial diurnal temperature swings, leading to better-than-expected yields and high-quality fruit, particularly for Cabernet Sauvignon, which exhibited distinctive varietal characteristics.
