Penfolds Bin A Chardonnay 2018 750mL

Fresh white stone fruits carry through to the palate, layered and textural. Wet stone minerality provides allure and balance to sweet nougat and cashew. The acidity is soft, pillowy, and supportive of the very fine grained phenolics. The finish has tremendous length, with layers of complexity competing for attention.

Reserve Bin A Chardonnay has evolved into a wine that is now a distinctive, single-region style in its own right, with a contemporary and expressive Adelaide Hills chardonnay persona. Fruit is hand-picked into small bins and then whole bunch pressed. A portion of the juice is incrementally filled to barrel directly from the press and allowed to undergo a natural fermentation, sans inoculation. Every new and seasoned French oak barrique is its own unique 225-litre ferment. 100% malolactic fermentation (all natural).
