Penfolds Bin 311 Chardonnay 2021 750ml

Bin 311 Chardonnay truly reflects the winemakers’ mantra of going where the fruit grows best and where it best suits style. From the 2017 release of Bin 311, fruit sourcing moved to multi-regional cool-climate regions. In true Bin 311 style, not unlike Yattarna, it exhibits lemon/lime aromas and a mineral acid backbone, complemented by barrel fermentation and maturation in mostly seasoned oak. Minimal filtration is employed, preserving elegant fruit flavours.

Intense notes of struck match and roasted nuts dominate, with ripe melon and lemon fruit below. It's a full figured, mouth coating wine with creamy texture and flavor, and flint, nut and toast characters. The fruit makes its way through, as does some lovely bright acidity. It's a full throttle, quite oak driven style that won't be for everyone but that is well executed.
