About this wine

Penfolds Bin 23 Pinot Noir, South Eastern Australia

Bin 23’s name is derived from the place the wine matures, ‘Cellar 23’ at Magill Estate, where the wine is made. The first vintage was 2009, after a number of trial wines had been made, many of which were released under the ‘Cellar Reserve’ label. Bin 23 is an evolving style–the 2009 came entirely from the Adelaide Hills and with the 2018 vintage Victoria (Henty) and Tasmania joined the party, showing once again that…

Early vintages of Bin 23 were comparatively rich and voluminous but within 10 years the style had evolved to become lighter-bodied and more fragrant. Use of new oak has also been reduced (to less than 20%) for, typically, eight months. After crushing, the must is cold-soaked and batch-vinified in small open fermenters. Some components finish fermentation in barrel to optimise the blending options for what is ultimately a barrel-selection wine.

ABOUT THE WINERY
Penfolds

Penfolds

Penfolds is one of the world’s most celebrated winemakers with an enviable reputation for quality at every price level. Christopher Rawson Penfold began it all in 1844. A doctor, with an eye for medicinal winemaking, he and his wife, Mary sought a new life in Australia with a vine cutting and a bold vision. The family purchased Magill, now a suburb of Adelaide, and set about inventing tonics, brandies, and fortified wines made from grapes and Australian sunshine. The Penfolds House Style emerged from this craft of fortified wine production and blending.

The success of Penfolds has been driven by a lineage of visionary winemakers who pushed innovation to bold new heights. Max Schubert, the creator of Penfolds Grange, Dr Ray Beckwith and their team pioneered: major advances in yeast technology and paper chromatography; the understanding and use of pH in controlling bacterial spoilage; the use of headed down/submerged cap fermentation and the technique of rack and return; cold fermentation practices; the use of American oak as a maturation vessel and perhaps most critically, partial barrel fermentation. The use of American oak and barrel fermentation is considered traditional Barossa winemaking practice, in large part due to the work of Penfolds.

Today, the art of blending remains integral to the Penfolds House Style - a unique combination of highly defined fruit aromas, ripe tannins, richness, power and concentration. The most powerful expression of this is the flagship, Grange, now recognised as one of the most consistent of the world’s great wines. Similarly, Bin 389 Cabernet Shiraz, first released in 1960, is now considered the quintessential Australian wine blend. Improved vineyard management, site selection and winemaking brought about the subsequent releases of Penfolds wines such as Bin 707 and Bin 407 Cabernet Sauvignon – both highly acclaimed and collected wines to this day.

The Penfolds Philosophy is the accumulation of nearly 180 years of shared knowledge and continual refinement. This began with Dr Christopher and Mary Penfold, continued with Max Schubert, Ray Beckwith and generations of Penfolds winemakers leading to the current winemaking team, led by Peter Gago. Their commitment to constantly improving their work, whilst honouring the winemaking techniques of their predecessors, contributes to the consistency of style and quality that Penfolds is known for around the world.
