The Penfolds California Collection | Penfolds

Over 20 years ago Penfolds

winemakers first took heritage vine

cuttings from South Australia

and planted them in California soil.

Hemispheres.

One Quantum Leap.

Years in the making,

yet brand new.

Introducing the

California Collection.

Over twenty years ago, we started exploring the bountiful soils of California, with an ambition to create a range of wines unbound by country, vine or time.

Today, Penfolds winemakers pick up where previous generations left off, to unveil four new Californian wines that extol an otherworldliness.

Quantum

Bin 98

Quantum Bin 98 is a true Wine of the World. The flagship of our California Collection, this cabernet sauvignon is as bold and distinctive as its name implies.

Made from predominantly Napa Valley cabernet, this wine contains a significant addition of flagship-worthy shiraz of the highest quality from South Australia.

Bin 149

Cabernet Sauvignon

Bin 149 proudly combines elements from the northern and southern hemisphere to create a distinctive and original cabernet sauvignon.

As with Quantum, it is made from predominantly Napa Valley cabernet, but contains a significant addition of flagship-worthy cabernet from South Australia. Our Wine of the World wines are blended across continents and hemisphere’s - possessing an ‘otherness’ that can best be described as ‘worldly’.

Bin 704

Cabernet Sauvignon

A wine steeped in Penfolds winemaking tradition yet still embracing modernity. Napa Valley cabernet redefined through a Penfolds lens.

The name Bin 704 draws inspiration from the “mirror” or “reverse” image of its Australian Bin 407 stablemate, a wine which also respects varietal expression.

Bin 600

Cabernet Shiraz

A cabernet shiraz intrinsically linked to our beginnings in California. In 1998 we planted heritage vine cuttings from South Australia in California soil. Grapes from the original vines feature in this blend.

The original name of the Camatta Hills vineyard, where fruit for this wine was sourced from, was Creston “600” Ranch.

Our California Journey

Our California journey started decades ago in the Camatta Hills vineyard, Paso Robles. In the 1980’s, we initiated an ambitious viticultural program in Australia called ‘Heritage Selections’.

From our most prized vineyards, winemakers sought to identify single vineyards, blocks and vines that produced the best quality fruit. Cuttings from these exceptional Heritage Selections were then propagated and eventually sent across the world to California.
