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\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eVineyard Notes\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"text-more-line js-content\"\u003eCoonawarra, Kalimna (Barossa Valley), Padthaway and McLaren Vale, South Australia.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"text-more-line js-content\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVintage Notes\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"js-content\"\u003eMuch needed rains replenished the soils during the winter across most of South Australia.

Once allowed to breathe, complex berry and cassis Cabernet aromas emanate with a background of cedary oak and violet nuances. PALATE Full bodied with dense layers of tight, saturated Cabernet fruit. A formidable concentration of berried fruits, blackcurrant and anise combine to create a rich and expansive mid-palate. Stylish oak handling combined with a backbone of firm, yet finely grained tannins, support a lingering finish.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Vic Liquors Pty Ltd","offers":[{"title":"good condition","offer_id":52736232292715,"sku":"SK24993483","price":599.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Just Below Base of Neck with Minor Label Stains \/ damage","offer_id":52736232325483,"sku":"SK24993484","price":575.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0956\/5483\/8635\/files\/PenfoldsBin707CabernetSauvignon_a9546118-8d31-4ed9-af9d-2760a4975c1a.png?v=1780654251","url":"https:\/\/kingsburycellars.com.au\/products\/1996-penfolds-bin-707-cabernet-sauvignon-750ml-1","provider":"Kingsbury Cellars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
