PenfoldsReserve Bin A Chardonnay 2006
About this product
Penfolds Reserve Bin Chardonnay has arguably become a more refined and classic example of supreme Australian Chardonnay that its higher priced sibling. It has evolved into a wine that is now a distinctive, single-region style in its own right, and an integral part of the Penfolds portfolio. All fruit is hand-picked into small bins and then whole-bunch pressed. The juice is run off into barriques directly from the press, and allowed to undergo a wild fermentation. Enhanced mouthfeel and complexit

Dry wines have no trace of sweetness at all.

Light yellow colour. Restrained lemon citrus nose, wonderful array of aromas, irresistible and charming. Refined, soft and rich, and texturally superb in the mouth. Evident phenolics add to a chalky texture and clean, appetising finish. Taut and fine and long.

Bin 06A. Despite lower alcohol, a mouth-filling wine developing more quickly than the '04 or '05.
