SKU: PENBINACH23
Reserve Bin A Chardonnay has evolved into a wine that is now a distinctive, single-region style, with a contemporary and expressive Adelaide Hills Chardonnay persona. Fruit is hand-picked into small bins and then whole-bunch pressed. A portion of the juice is allowed to undergo a natural fermentation, sans inoculation. Every new and seasoned French oak barrique is its own unique 225-litre ferment. Enhanced mouthfeel and complexity are achieved by fermenting and maturing on solids with regular yeast lees stirring (bâttonage). 100% malolactic fermentation (all natural).

Wine Style

White - fruit sweetness, well balanced, medium-bodied

Palate

The palate is greeted by a blend of marzipan richness and wet stone minerality, followed by a lush quince paste delicacy. Rose water offers a floral subtlety which complements the nuttiness of praline. Sea spray infuses this Chardonnay with saline freshness. The mouthfeel has phenolic elements, contributing to a texture that is both waxy and elegant. Grapefruit returns on the palate, maintaining its bright citrus character with quartz-like clarity. The acidity frames the fruit perfectly; it’s present yet finely woven into the wine’s fabric.
