Penfolds Bin 60A record

Published: 23 July, 2008

Penfolds has claimed a new Australian record for the
price of a new-release wine.
A six-pack of 2004 Penfolds Bin 60A Coonawarra Cabernet Sauvignon Kalimna Shiraz set the record when it was sold
for US$4,935 at the recent Christie's Fine and Rare Wines auction in New York.
According to Stewart Langton, managing director of Langton's Fine Wine Auctions, the price of US$822 (A$1,084) per bottle (including buyer's premium of 17.5%) is an Australian record for a new-release wine. He says that up until that point no new-release wine had achieved more than A$1,000 for a 75cl bottle.
