The story

The story behind Penfolds

Dr. Christopher Rawson Penfold and his wife Mary founded Penfolds in 1844 at Magill Estate in South Australia, making fortified wines and medicinal tonics before anything else. Mary ran the house outright after Christopher died in 1870. In 1948 Max Schubert took over as first Chief Winemaker and pushed the estate toward premium dry red table wine.

What separates Penfolds from European estate models is blending. Fruit from the Barossa Valley, McLaren Vale, Coonawarra and beyond goes into a single wine, built for a consistent mid-palate year after year. The Bin numbers started as cellar batch identifiers, and fractions of the lower Bin wines still rest in oak previously used for the flagship expressions.

Penfolds questions, answered

Is Penfolds a Shiraz or Cabernet?
Penfolds makes both. Shiraz and Cabernet Sauvignon are the core varietals, and the house is best known for Cabernet Shiraz blends like Bin 389 alongside straight Shiraz such as Bin 28.
What does Bin mean on a Penfolds label?
The Bin number originally marked the physical cellar batch where barrels aged. Bin 389, Bin 407 and the rest are now product names, though the numbering still signals where a wine sits in the range.
Who founded Penfolds and when?
Dr. Christopher Rawson Penfold and his wife Mary founded Penfolds in 1844 at Magill Estate in South Australia. Mary took full control after Christopher died in 1870 and scaled the business.
