$45.99
Penfolds Bin 311 Chardonnay 2022 is a stunning example of a chardonnay that showcases the perfect balance of modern winemaking techniques and traditional aging methods. The wine was matured for eight months in French oak barriques, with 34% new oak used in the aging process. The vintage conditions brought out the best of Tasmania, Tumbarumba, and the Adelaide Hills, with each region contributing to the final blend's nuance. The wine pours a pale straw color with lime green hues, making it an exquisite wine to look at. On the nose, Penfolds Bin 311 Chardonnay 2022 is an exhilarating chardonnay, living up to the recently acquired moniker “Baby Yattarna”. The aromas of struck flint and steely minerality are a nod to Tasmania's inclusion, while the cured lemon and subtle white stone fruit are suggestive of Adelaide Hills. Lime, lemon and wet stone minerality are a reflection of Tumbarumba. Exotic notes of Tahitian lime zest ‘oil’ add to the allure, tempered by a lemon curd/pastry sweetness. On the palate, Penfolds Bin 311 Chardonnay 2022 is elegant, with a lovely cool climate fruit that provides ample palate weight. Honeydew melon, white peach, cashew, and nougat drive the flavor profile, creating a tempting taste sensation. The trademark minerality running through a seam of soft acidity provides a well-balanced structure. The phenolics are grippy and textured, melding seamlessly with fine grained French oak that enhances the wine's complexity. Penfolds Bin 311 Chardonnay 2022 is drinking beautifully now but will continue to develop its flavor profile for a decade or more for those who prefer a more developed expression of the varietal. It is truly a remarkable wine that punches well above its weight division, perfect for those who want to experience the best of cool-climate chardonnay.
Alc. 12.5%
