Penfolds Reserve Bin A Chardonnay

This single-region Chardonnay is sourced from high-altitude vineyards in the cool-climate Adelaide Hills. Penfolds, founded in 1844, is one of Australia’s most celebrated producers, known for its pioneering winemaking.

Grapes are hand-picked and whole-bunch pressed, with a portion undergoing natural fermentation in French oak barriques. Each barrel is treated as a unique ferment, contributing to the wine’s layered complexity. Lees stirring and full malolactic fermentation build texture and aromatic depth. The wine is matured for seven months in French oak, 60 percent of which is new.

• Penfolds Reserve Bin A Chardonnay opens with rose water, grapefruit and wet stone minerality.
• The palate shows quince paste, marzipan and saline freshness with a waxy, elegant texture.
• Finishes with citrus clarity, nutty praline and finely woven acidity.

Pair with roast poultry, lobster or hard cheeses like Manchego and Parmesan. It is suitable for vegetarians.
