PenfoldsReserve Bin A Chardonnay 2018
About this product
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. Not the archetypical stone-fruited Bin A this vintage – to the fore on the nose: lemon curd, mandarin and nashi pear with a skerrick of shortbread and creamy custard/vanilla slice sans icing. Initially, an intriguing subtle gentleness on the palate. A glycerolic viscosity interlocks with the natural acidity inducing a mouth-watering juiciness and just a rasp of flint at the very end, adding length and zest. Peak drinking 2021 - 2035.

Medium bodied white wines have a lightly textured mouthfeel with moderate flavour impact. Often pale lemon coloured to pale gold.
Dry wines have no trace of sweetness at all.
