Varietal purity, layered dark fruit and polished structure define the Penfolds Bin 407 Cabernet Sauvignon 2024. First released in 1993 from the 1990 vintage, Bin 407 was developed in response to the increasing availability of high-quality Cabernet Sauvignon fruit. Inspired by the renowned Bin 707, it offers a more approachable expression of the variety while retaining the depth, structure and longevity associated with the Penfolds house style. The 2024 release draws Cabernet Sauvignon from Coonawarra, Padthaway, McLaren Vale, Wrattonbully and the Barossa Valley. This multi-regional approach allows Penfolds to combine aromatic definition, ripe fruit, savoury complexity and firm tannin structure within a single wine. The vintage began with below-average winter rainfall, followed by an unsettled spring that affected fruit set in several South Australian regions.
Rainfall during December helped stabilise vine canopies before warm and dry conditions prevailed from January onwards. Heat events during March encouraged smaller berries and concentrated flavours, while cooler April conditions allowed the winemaking team to make measured harvest decisions. The wine was matured for 12 months in French and American oak hogsheads, including 16% new French oak and 5% new American oak. Aromatically expressive, it combines wild raspberry and blackcurrant with forest floor, bay leaf, olive tapenade, cedar, baking spices and subtle herbal notes. The palate is creamy, broad and generously fruited, with mulberry and cherry plum supported by fresh acidity and pithy, chalk-like tannins. Savoury notes of toasted cumin and barbecue jalapeño provide additional depth and persistence. Approachable on release yet firmly structured for ageing, Penfolds recommends a peak drinking window from 2028 to 2048.

Quintessential Australian Cabernet in all its glory and typicity..It’s a Cabernet of distinctive power, concentration, continuity, layers, depth and future.
At its heart, 407 is all about a varietal interpretation and hence the fruit comes first and it’s striking and irresistibly aromatic in scents of blue fruits, black cherries, plum, earth, dry leaves and a peppery spice, anise intensity. Structurally, it’s solid as a rock, the kind of frame to build a long future on.
Bin 407 was created to express Cabernet Sauvignon in a more immediately approachable style than Bin 707 while remaining unmistakably Penfolds. Classic cassis, blackberry and mulberry aromas sit alongside bay leaf, cedar, graphite and dried herbs. The palate is medium- to full-bodied with vibrant blackcurrant fruit, redcurrant, dark chocolate and cedar spice supported by finely woven tannins. There’s excellent freshness and balance throughout, finishing with confidence and persistence.
Founded in 1844 by Dr Christopher and Mary Penfold at Magill Estate in South Australia, Penfolds has grown from a small colonial winery into one of Australia’s most significant wine producers. Its history has been shaped by generations of winemakers willing to challenge convention while preserving a remarkably consistent approach to style and quality.
Mary Penfold played a defining role in the winery’s early development, overseeing production and experimenting with grape varieties and winemaking techniques as the estate expanded. A century later, Max Schubert would transform Penfolds again. Appointed the company’s first Chief Winemaker in 1948, his ambition to create an Australian red capable of developing over decades led to the first experimental Grange in 1951.
That spirit of experimentation has continued through successive generations of Penfolds winemakers. From benchmark Australian wines including Grange, St Henri and Bin 707 to contemporary projects extending beyond Australia, the House has continued to evolve while maintaining a winemaking lineage stretching back more than 180 years.
Penfolds has long approached wine differently. Rather than defining its greatest wines exclusively through a single vineyard or region, the House has built its reputation around a philosophy of blending across vineyards, districts and, where appropriate, regions to achieve a consistent expression of style.
This approach allows the winemaking team to select fruit according to quality and character rather than geography alone. South Australia remains fundamental, with regions including the Barossa Valley, Coonawarra, McLaren Vale and Adelaide Hills contributing distinctive elements across the portfolio. Individual vineyards also play important roles, including the historic Magill Estate and Kalimna Vineyard.
Continuity is equally important. Each generation of Penfolds winemakers inherits established wine styles rather than simply imposing its own, refining them as vineyards, vintages and winemaking evolve. Structure, balance and the capacity to develop with age remain central to many of the House’s most important wines.
Today, that philosophy extends from Australia to winemaking projects in California, France and China. The geography may have expanded, but the underlying idea remains recognisably Penfolds: sourcing exceptional fruit and bringing its components together to create a wine greater than any single element.
