Penfolds Bin 311 Chardonnay 750ml

Bin 311 Chardonnay truly reflects the winemakers’ mantra ‘we always go where the fruit grows best and where it best suits style’. In the previous release of Bin 311, fruit sourcing moved to multi-regional cool-climate regions; Adelaide Hills, Tumbarumba, Tasmania. In true Bin 311 style, it exhibits lemon/lime aromas and a mineral acid backbone, complemented by barrel-fermentation and maturation in mostly seasoned oak. Minimal filtration is employed, preserving elegant fruit flavours.

Color: Very pale gold
Aroma: A burst of lemon blossom and white spring flowers is followed by lemon pith and other citrus enticement.Scents of cashew, pistachio-embedded nougat and beeswax remind of the wine’s sojourn in oak, avec yeast lees accompaniment.
Taste: A persistent citrus line framed by white stone fruit – sliced fresh peach and dare mention – peach bellini. All balanced by mouthwatering acidity with a subtle, nutty mealiness. Whist this acidity is quite pronounced (almost pithy).
