Description

Aussie Chardonnay is making a come back, but you can expect much more elegance than the clumsily oaked wines you may remember from the 90s. The Penfolds Bin 311 is an absolute delight. Plenty of citrus, white stone fruit, fresh apricot on the nose is balanced by a wonderful creamy texture from ageing in a combination of first and second use barrels. The idea of using second use means that there are less oaky flavours in the wine, it’s more about creating texture and mouthfeel. Delicious!

ProducerProfile

Penfolds is certainly Australia’s, and possibly one of the world’s, most iconic wine producers. Established in 1844, it boasts an enviable history that most wineries in the Old World would give their right arm for. Most famous for its flagship wine, Penfolds Grange, which is the very definition of Australian fine wine and the 1955 vintage was even described by Wine Spectator as one of the “Wines of the Century”.
