2018 Penfolds Bin 169 Cabernet Sauvignon

Penfolds is Australia’s oldest and most iconic winery, with a history and heritage that reflects the country’s journey from colonial settlement to the modern era. The winery was founded in 1844 by Dr Christopher Rawson Penfold who emigrated with his wife from England to South Australia to plant his French-acquired vines at Magill Estate. Their reason for doing so was not to make Australia’s best wine, but to find a cure for anaemia. Christopher believed in the medicinal properties of wine and used it in his increasingly renowned general practice.

The Australian wine industry, and Penfolds, changed dramatically with the arrival of winemaker Max Schubert who created the world famous Grange and Bin wines. In 1988 Max Schubert was named 'Man of the Year' by Decanter Magazine and Penfolds Grange 1955 is now a National Heritage Listed wine. Penfolds has an extraordinary collection of awards and with each generation of winemakers Max Schubert's remarkable vision has been nurtured and strengthened. Today Peter Gago is the 'Guardian of the Grange' and sets the standard for all Penfolds wines. It was even named 'Most Admired Wine Brand' by Drinks International in early 2019 and many more accolades are likely to follow.

Penfolds Bin 169 Cabernet Sauvignon has been created to reflect a contemporary approach to winemaking, highlighting both the regionality and the maturation of Cabernet Sauvignon in fine-grained French oak. A style that is instantly Penfolds, yet illustrative of the ongoing quest for diversity and style separation. A classic reflection of the region and a testament to Penfolds’ long-standing commitment to the Coonawarra vineyards.
