Description
Bin 600 is intrinsically linked to Penfolds beginning in California, a narrative that now spans three decades. In 1998, Penfolds imported a heritage selection of vine cuttings from South Australia’s esteemed Kalimna and Magill Estate vineyards and planted them in Californian soil. The original name of the Camatta Hills vineyard was called Creston “600” Ranch, a special place in the Penfolds California timeline for it serves as a reference point to the start of our American journey.

PENFOLDS CALIFORNIA WINE
Plentiful winter and spring rainfall set the vines up perfectly for the start of the growing season. In many Californian regions, budburst was two weeks later than long-term average. Summer was generally mild, with no prolonged hot weather. These conditions allowed the grapes to ripen slowly, allowing excellent varietal flavour development. Shiraz was especially strong with excellent phenolic content, while cabernet sauvignon was marked by fine tannins and fresh acidity.
