Penfolds releases Special Bin 620 in Shanghai

In 1966, Penfolds crafted the inaugural Bin 620 Coonawarra Cabernet Shiraz. After many years Penfolds will pay an eagerly awaited homage to this celebrated Special Bin wine, releasing the 2008 Bin 620 Coonawarra Cabernet Shiraz in Shanghai, China on Wednesday 16 November.

Penfolds only release extremely limited bottlings of rare Special Bin wines from exceptional vintages, and only then when the quality of the flagship Grange and Bin 707 are not in any way compromised. In 2008, Coonawarra, one of Australia’s greatest wine regions, enjoyed a near perfect vintage affording the Penfolds winemaking team the opportunity to hand-select parcels of exquisite fruit for this Bin 620; thus continuing a grand tradition of making Special Bin wines for the enjoyment and interest of wine collectors and enthusiasts.

Of great significance to generations of Australian and international wine collectors, Penfolds Special Bins are deeply connected to Australian wine culture and all releases have in some way marked the progress of the modern Australian wine industry. Like all Special Bins, the Bin 620 encapsulates Penfolds winemaking history, tradition, experience and quality.

The Penfolds Special Bin 620 Coonawarra Cabernet Shiraz 2008 was launched globally in Shanghai, China on Wednesday 16 November. A first for Penfolds! This wine will only be available from Penfolds Cellar Doors, select fine wine restaurants and duty free outlets.
