This is a well-priced Chardonnay that champions the distinct character of Australia's coolest climate winegrowing region. It offers flavors of melon, peach, ginger and toasty oak nuances. It's both corpulent and refreshing, linear and crisp, with a salty mineral note adding complexity to the fleshy fruit and spice flavors. CHRISTINA PICKARD

A muscular, rich wine, this opens with heady, almost raisiny red-berry fruit, with licorice, earthy herbs and spices, touches of floral notes and vanillin oak. Tannins are chewy and drying, showing a good lick of oak along with the ripe fruit. There's a likability about the fruit profile, though, that suggests that time in bottle might offer lots of interest and drinkability in future. Drink. CHRISTINA PICKARD

Penfolds Bin 51 Riesling Eden Valley 2019 Winemaker Notes Light straw in color. When opened and swirled mandarin, lemon cordial and orange blossom aromatics are immediately unleashed. Acquiesces in the citrus spectrum - more so than manifesting Eden Valley’s archetypal floral aromas... a warmer-than-average growing season has left its imprint. Upon closer inspection, hints of lavender talc, lychee and the faintest waft of cardamom spice. No doubting variety, style and region! A slightly fuller Riesling akin to the Bin 51’s of the early 2000’s, no doubt due to the drier and warmer 2019 Eden Valley harvest. Tempting flavours of lemon tea cake, apple strudel with jasmine florals and Tahitian lime leaf round out a palate nevertheless still enlivened by chalky acidity. ‘Softened’ and very approachable now. Recommend more immediate drinking, with medium-term Eden Valley Riesling cellarability. Partake. The 2019 vintage is a story of quality over quantity. Like the rest of South Australia’s growing regions, Eden Valley had a very dry winter and spring. These conditions continued through summer with hot and dry weather in January and February. The prevailing conditions resulted in one of the lowest yielding vintages on record. The resultant dry conditions meant there was no disease pressure. Riesling grapes exhibited terrific varietal character, with bracing natural acidity.

Bin 311 Chardonnay is sourced to style from a single, cool-climate region. In 2016, fruit sourcing has again come from Tumbarumba – one of Australia’s most exciting, cool-climate, high-altitude, viticultural districts. Penfolds has worked with chardonnay from Tumbarumba since the early 1990s. The Bin 311 style typically exhibits lemon/lime aromas and a mineral acid backbone, complemented by barrel fermentation and maturation in seasoned oak. Minimal filtration is employed, preserving elegant fruit flavours. ColourVery pale straw.NoseFruits instantly arise ever so effortlessly - guava, lychee, green mango.Followed by (theorised) barrel fermentation-induced nougat, and wafts of freshly-baked apple galette.And to sign-off, whilst there is acknowledgement of a whiff of cordite (lees-derived?), no oak registers…PalateThe generosity promised on the nose is certainly delivered on the palate.A beguiling creamy texture energised by fresh, chalky acidity.Flavours of honeydew and tangelo fruits merge with those of slithered pistachio, cashew.Refreshing. Inviting.

Winemaker Notes Concentrated blueberries, mulberries and plums give density to a nose that also exhibits black cardamom, anise caramel and hickory. There is subtle lift with rose petals and violets offering further fragrance. Black and blue fruits dominate the palate with upfront weight and texture. Woven fruit layers meet subtle smokey oak creating a layered palate, laced with a finely balanced acid line.
