Product Information
A medium-bodied saturated-red wine. Penfolds Bin 8 is a classic Australian blend of Shiraz and Cabernet Sauvignon, crafted in the traditional Penfolds style. This elegant wine shows ripe sweet fruit flavours supported by softly integrated oak and silky tannins. We invite you to explore the Penfolds range and discover a success story more than 175 years old. The renowned Bin series, first created in 1959, reflects Penfolds meticulous winemaking approach of sourcing the best fruit from premium vineyards, in order to marry both regional and varietal characters to the distinctive Penfolds style. The lifted cabernet notes make this a great pairing with lamb, but any red meat will work well with the taught tannins and generous palate and hard cheese like cheddar is a winner.

Regional information
The 2024 growing season across South Australia was
characterised by a warm, even ripening period following a
relatively dry winter and spring, resulting in modest yields and
strong fruit concentration. Mild flowering supported good fruit
set, while a warm but rarely extreme summer allowed steady
flavour accumulation and preserved natural acidity. Harvest
was slightly compressed, requiring careful picking to capture
freshness and varietal definition.
