A worldly release, Penfolds Bin 149 Cabernet Sauvignon seeks northern hemisphere excellence through meticulous vineyard and block selection while embracing flagship-worthy South Australian cabernet sauvignon parcels. A testament to Penfolds blending mastery, Bin 149’s name is derived from the percentage of South Australian cabernet sauvignon synergistically woven into the inaugural blend. Since its first release in 2018, Bin 149 has captivated wine enthusiasts and drinkers alike, seamlessly blending fruit from two world-renowned cabernet regions: Napa Valley and South Australia. The result is a wine of distinction, boasting a unique ‘worldly’ disposition whilst showcasing Penfolds renowned ‘House Style’.
Bin 149 shares the DNA of our family of fine wines and yet expresses its own unique persona. Layers of fruit are supported by fine and textured tannins with maturation in both French and American oak, further enriching the complexity of Bin 149. Classically Penfolds in character, yet altogether different in structure.
Unbound by country, vine, or time, Penfolds curiosity has led to the creation of this remarkable wine that gracefully embraces the best of two continents – referred to as a ‘Wine of the World’. Bin 149 embodies the spirit of exploration that has driven Penfolds for two decades upon Californian soil, capturing the essence of Penfolds.
