Inspired by Bin 707, Bin 407 offers varietal definition and approachability, yet still with structure and depth of flavour. Textbook cabernet sauvignon, the varietally expressive Bin 407 highlights the rewards of Penfolds multi-region, multivineyard blending, with a core of ripe fruit supported by sensitive use of French and American oak.
Launched with the 1990 vintage in 1993, Bin 407 emerged as a response to the flourishing presence of high-quality South Australian cabernet sauvignon. A wine now gracefully moving through its fourth decade, Bin 407 stands as a testament to its unwavering self-assuredness in the world of wine, garnering an ardent following worldwide. Perhaps partly due to its dependable nature, poised character, and refined restraint on the palate.
Bin 407 is a multi-regional wine with fruit sourcing from South Australia, including Coonawarra, Wrattonbully, McLaren Vale, Padthaway, Barossa Valley, and Adelaide Hills (varying each vintage). It is a medium to full-bodied wine that screams its cabernet genetics. It is matured in French and American oak, some of which were used for the previous vintages of Bin 707. The style has evolved over the years, with fruit gaining more prominence and oak moving into the background.
