Penfolds Bin 707 Cabernet 1997

Penfolds Bin 707 is the quintessential australian Cabernet Sauvignon. The winemaking philosophy of Bin 707 is similar to that of grange, that is ripe full-flavoured grapes, completion of fermentation in barrel and new american oak maturation. The result is a wine of great richness, power, harmony and concentration with the structure and strength to age for the long term.

Vineyard region a multi-district blend sourced from Coonawarra, Bordertown, Padthaway and Barossa Valley districts of South australia.
Vintage Conditions The 1997 vintage enjoyed a cool summer that was followed by warm weather in late March and april. Winter rainfall had been excellent in most districts and good rains continued into September and past bud-burst.
