澳洲葡萄酒業中,聲望最高的酒廠。
旗艦酒Grange澳洲最著名的頂級紅酒,澳洲頂級紅酒的開路先鋒。
Bin 389和Bin 407兩款紅酒是數十年來一直熱賣的長青人氣產品。
Penfolds使用旗下南澳各產區的原料葡萄釀製,置於法國(70 %)和美國橡木桶(30 %)裡熟成12個月,有部分是用過一年或兩年的舊桶,這些舊桶有一些先前是陳放Bin 707,因此Bin 407可說是小號的Bin 707而價格更親民,因此在市場上相當受歡迎。

The 2021 Bin 407 Cabernet Sauvignon is from Coonawarra, Wrattonbully, McLaren Vale, Padthaway, Barossa Valley and Adelaide Hills. As I smelled this, I thought, "Gee, this smells good!" Usually, I find the presence of American oak to be distracting and ill-matched to the leafy, detailed Cabernet fruit. Here, there has been a significant proportion of French oak (25% new) and a lesser proportion of American oak (12% new oak). You get dark chocolate, berry compote, resin, stewed rhubarb, cassis, crème de menthe, soft-eating licorice and black olive tapenade. All regions have a warm climate, with the exception of Adelaide Hills, of course. In this cooler year, the fruit is mouth-filling without being heavy. Saturating. Lovely. Creamy. Big! Excellent.
