WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Penfolds Bin 707 Cabernet Sauvignon is produced using 100% Cabernet Sauvignon grapes sourced from multiple vineyards across South Australia. A defining technique is the fermentation and subsequent maturation of the wine in 100% new American oak barrels. This process typically lasts for 18 months, allowing for significant integration of oak characteristics. The 2018 vintage benefited from warm growing conditions, contributing to ripe fruit profiles. Penfolds employs a multi-regional sourcing strategy to build complexity and consistency into the final wine.
