2022 Penfolds Bin 311 Chardonnay
£29.00
“A third each of Tasmania, Adelaide Hills and Tumbarumba fruit, ‘Baby Yattarna’ is a belter this vintage, benefiting from a significant portion of wine originally destined for Yattarna and Reserve Bin A. The generosity of the latter’s ripe nectarine and pistachio croissant richness grabs you first, but then cleansing acidity, oyster shell tang and bright lemon balm, grapefruit peel and lime juice perkiness take over, meaning your initial impression of opulence ends up as graceful and restrained. The eight months in French barrique (34% new) delivers roundness and mouthfeel more than toasty spice, and the pure fruit flavours linger long. A great buy this vintage, for drinking now or to cellar.”

Product Description
Penfolds wines are widely celebrated for their diversity, history and craftsmanship. The success of Penfolds has been driven by the generations of visionaries and innovators. From the beginning in 1844 to today, the merging of science, art and innovation has driven Penfolds to become one of Australia’s most famed and respected winemakers.
Bin 311 Chardonnay truly reflects the winemakers’ mantra of going where the fruit grows best and where it best suits style. . In true Bin 311 style, not unlike Yattarna, the 2022 vintage exhibits lemon/lime aromas and a mineral acid backbone, complemented by barrel fermentation and maturation in new and seasoned oak.
A cutting-edge, cool-climate chardonnay sourced from Tasmania, Tumbarumba and Adelaide Hills. An elegant wine with honeydew melon, white peach and cashew flavours.
