Penfolds are producing some of the most exciting chardonnays in Australia. This 311 is, clearly, a wine of great substance, and straining at the bit. The winemaker has held it all under a tight rein with restrained early season white stonefruit, grapefruit and gunflint notes immediately apparent. Deeper analysis brings to light nectarine skin, ginger, quartz pebble and a creamy, lemon curd sleekness. A little shy and compact upon opening, the wine unfurls superbly as the temperature rises, revealing succulence, shortbread and complexing nutty oak. Fabulous to drink now, this is one to consider cellaring for 5 years or so.

Pale colour. Very expressive lime, grapefruit aromas with flinty, tonic water notes. Generously flavoured palate with plentiful lime squash, grapefruit notes, fine slinky textures, lovely mid-palate creaminess, underlying toasty complexity and long fresh quartz-like acidity. Superb mineral length. Very much in the idiom of a Premier Cru. Delicious drinking. 66% of the blend is aged for nine months in new (38%) and seasoned one-year-old (28%) oak. Drink now – 2028. 12.5% alc 95 points
