Bin A Chardonnay Reserve - Penfolds

The Bin A Chardonnay Reserve from Penfolds in South Australia reveals a bright, golden-yellow color in the glass. Swirling the wine glass, one can perceive an excellent balance in this white wine, as it neither appears watery nor syrupy or liqueur-like on the sides of the glass. This varietal Australian wine displays wonderfully expressive notes of grapefruit and fig in the glass. These are joined by hints of lime and mineral nuances.

This wine delights with its elegantly dry flavor profile. It was bottled with exceptionally little residual sugar. This is a genuine quality wine that clearly stands out from simpler qualities, and thus this Australian, despite all its dryness, enchants with the finest balance. Aroma does not necessarily require a lot of residual sugar. On the palate, this well-balanced white wine is characterized by an immensely crisp texture. Thanks to its present acidity, the Bin A Chardonnay Reserve presents itself on the palate as exceptionally fresh and lively. The finish of this youthful white wine from the winegrowing region of South Australia, more precisely from the Adelaide Super Zone, ultimately impresses with a good length.

Vinification of the Penfolds Bin A Chardonnay Reserve

There they are sorted and gently crushed. Fermentation then takes place in small oak barrels at controlled temperatures. After fermentation, the elegant Bin A Chardonnay Reserve is matured for another 8 months in French oak barriques.
