Penfolds Bin 311 Chardonnay 2018 Limited Edition Gift Box 750ml

The Bin 311 Chardonnay is a beautifully crafted multi-region wine that embodies the winemakers' philosophy: “we always go where the fruit grows best and where it best suits the style.” First produced in 2005, Bin 311 is a reflection of this philosophy, utilizing only the highest-quality fruit, including select parcels originally intended for Yattarna Chardonnay. Its focus is not on terroir, but on crafting a wine from high-altitude, cool-climate fruit that enhances its refined profile.

In 2018, the sourcing of the fruit expanded to include cool-climate regions across Australia, such as 43% from Adelaide Hills, along with fruit from Tumbarumba and Tasmania. True to the Bin 311 style, the wine displays vibrant lemon and lime aromas balanced by a mineral backbone. It is barrel-fermented and matured in seasoned oak, with minimal filtration to preserve the wine’s delicate fruit character.

This Chardonnay is a light straw color with a nose brimming with citrus, grapefruit, and white peach. Subtle notes of sherbet, chamomile, and goats cheese add layers of complexity. The palate delivers a perfect balance of freshness, richness, and generosity, with a slightly fuller body compared to previous vintages while still maintaining the signature Bin 311 mineral acidity and structure. Rockmelon and white peach flavors are prominent, with hints of sherbet and fresh lemon tart, and a touch of creaminess that rounds out the texture. As always, Bin 311 Chardonnay offers exceptional value for its quality.
