SKU: PEN311CHA23
Bin 311 Chardonnay truly reflects the winemakers’ mantra of going where the fruit grows best and where it best suits style. From the 2017 release of Bin 311, fruit sourcing moved from single region to multi-regional. Today the cool climate vineyards of Tasmania, Tumbarumba, Henty and the Adelaide Hills are our primary sources of fine quality Chardonnay. In true Bin 311 style, not unlike Yattarna, it exhibits lemon/lime aromas and a mineral acid backbone, complemented by barrel fermentation and maturation in new and seasoned oak.

Palate

Upon tasting, this vintage reveals a palate that mirrors its aromatic intricacy. Leading with the intense clarity of preserved lemon, it unfolds to reveal succulent nectarine and zesty pink grapefruit flavours that are tightly coiled for longevity. White macadamia and almond meal provide a nutty undertone, while toasted nuts contribute to the wine’s layered/silky texture. A refreshing burst of citrus sorbet or sherbet enlivens the palate further, with mandarin peel adding breadth to the citrus spectrum. The texture nods to a creamy panna cotta or velvety buttermilk — rich yet perfectly balanced against the taut structure.
