PENFOLDS Special Bin Wines

History

On rare occasions, Max Schubert (creator of Grange) and his successors created 'one-off' Special Bin wines in very small batches (1000 dozen or less) This allowed the winemakers to identify rare and unique parcels of quality fruit, separate them from the main blends and release them as individual ultra-premium wines. The Kalimna Cabernet Sauvignon used for the special bin wines was all sourced from the same vines, Block 42 of the Kalimna Vineyard in the Barossa Valley. Penfolds believe they are the oldest continuously-producing cabernet vines in the world, planted between 1886 and 1888. The Block 42 vines were also used for the experimental, one off Grange Cabernet of 1953 - this wine is impossible to find! The Bin 60A is Penfolds most successful show wine ever, winning 19 trophies and 33 gold medals. Max Schubert, the forefather of the modern Australian wine industry, himself commented that the Bin 60A was the best wine he ever made and it is widely regarded as the greatest wine in post-war Australia.
