The rich and powerful Bin 707 Cabernet Sauvignon, our first commercial release of a single cabernet-based wine, is linked to Max Schubert’s dream of making a great Australian red wine that could last at least 20 years. During the ‘50s and early ‘60s cabernet sauvignon was mostly used for blending, but Schubert’s breakthrough with the varietal as a stand-alone wine came in 1964 with inaugural vintage. Early Bin 707s were typically open fermented under wax-lined header boards and matured in seasoned old oak (rather than new oak). The wine was not made from 1970 to 1975 (when fruit was directed to other wines) nor in 1981, 1995, 2000, 2003, 2011 or 2017 (when fruit of the required style and quality was not available).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDrinking Window: 2019 - 2048\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVineyard Notes\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eCoonawarra, Padthaway, Barossa Valley, Wrattonbully, Adelaide Hills\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVintage Notes\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eLower than average winter rainfall was experienced across each region.
