Dry, Light Bodied style of RieslingEden Valley, AustraliaInstantly recognisable as the trademark Eden Valley Riesling, Penfolds began releasing the Bin 51 Riesling in the 1990s as part of the evolving white wine development program. It has forefront citrus, such as fresh green lime and lime zest with white flowers aromatics on the nose. The fruits ripeness is balanced by clean and the zesty acidity on the palate.

Palish straw colour. Lifted fragrance, very perfumed and floral, like a bunch of dried wildflowers. Delicate, subtle, soft textured yet fresh with no lack of acidity. Intense, but also delicate, and very long, the finish ultra-clean and refined.

Pale colour. Fresh violet, verbena, herb garden, brown lime aromas. Well-concentrated sapid palate with verbena, lime, lemon curd, pear drop flavours, fine crunchy acidity and al-dente chalky mid-palate textures. Finishes chalky and minerally with al-dente notes. A very expressive textural wine with beautiful tension, clarity, and vinosity. Now-2025
