Producer

The Penfolds vineyard in Coonawarra is a true mosaic of terroirs, dominated by terra rossa soils, rich in iron and nutrients. These ideal conditions, combined with a temperate climate of warm summers and cool winters, allow the Cabernet Sauvignon grapes to ripen slowly, developing complex aromas and beautiful acidity. The vines are meticulously tended, with particular attention paid to soil health and biodiversity. This sustainable approach is essential to guaranteeing the quality of the grapes, which are harvested by hand to preserve their integrity.

Owner and history

Today, Penfolds is owned by the Treasury Wine Estates group, which has preserved the heritage and authenticity of this iconic winery. The current owners are committed to maintaining the standards of excellence that have earned Penfolds its international reputation. They invest in sustainable and innovative winemaking practices, while respecting the traditions that have shaped the estate's history. This passion for quality and respect for the terroir is reflected in every bottle, offering wine lovers a unique and memorable experience.

Vinification and aging

The winemaking process for Penfolds Bin 169 Cabernet Sauvignon 2018 begins with a hand-harvested grape, followed by fermentation in stainless steel tanks, allowing for optimal control of temperature and aromas. The grapes are macerated to extract tannins and color before aging in oak barrels, some of which are new, for 12 to 16 months. This crucial step adds complexity to the wine, with woody and spicy notes that blend harmoniously with the fruit. The final blend is carefully crafted, aiming to capture the essence of the Coonawarra terroir and reflect the distinctive Penfolds style.
