Penfolds Quantum Bin 98 is the continuation of an endeavour that saw Australian vine cuttings planted in Californian soil in 1998. The wine comprises Napa Valley cabernet sauvignon and pedigreed South Australia shiraz coming together to form a true ‘Wine of the World’. The wine serves as the most powerful expression of our blending style and leads the charge in Penfolds ambition to seek out parcels of intense flavour, structural tannins and equal parts grace and complexity.
The flagship of the Penfolds Collection Californian range, this wine represents a Quantum Leap forward for Penfolds.
Quantum Bin 98 reveals a wine that shows wisdom, crafted with conviction but also embedded in the ‘quality-first’ philosophy that underpins Penfolds flagships. Northern and southern hemispheres bring prized cabernet sauvignon from Napa Valley and pedigreed shiraz from South Australia, respectively, into each other’s realm. Not adhering to expectations and de rigueur.
The wine holds an aromatic profile that transcends time and place. At once familiar, yet different, this is Penfolds seen through an intercontinental lens.
Worldly and wise – Quantum is a trailblazer that doesn’t adhere to expectations.
