Description

Bin 311 Chardonnay epitomizes our winemakers' commitment to seeking the finest terroirs and styles. Just as Yattarna, this 2022 vintage stays true to the Bin 311 essence, boasting zesty lemon-lime notes, a mineral-rich acidity, and the influence of new and seasoned oak during barrel fermentation and maturation.

This cutting-edge chardonnay hails from the cool climates of Tasmania, Tumbarumba, and Adelaide Hills. It presents an exquisite profile with hints of honeydew melon, white peach, and subtle cashew undertones, embodying elegance and finesse.

Tasting Profile

Nose
An exhilarating chardonnay, living up to the recently acquired moniker “Baby Yattarna”. The benefit of multi-regional blending is evident, with each distinct region bringing nuance to the final blend. Struck flint and steely minerality are a nod to our Tasmanian inclusion. Subtle white stone fruit and cured lemon suggestive of the Adelaide Hills. While lime, lemon and wet stone minerality a reflection of the high-altitude vines of Tumbarumba. A hint of Tahitian lime zest ‘oil’ adds an exotic note, tempered by a lemon curd/ pastry sweetness.
Palate
An exemplar of the modern Penfolds chardonnay style. An elegant wine, with lovely cool climate fruit providing ample palate weight. Honeydew melon, white peach, cashew and nougat drive the flavour profile. There is a trademark minerality running through a seam of soft acidity. The phenolics are grippy and textured, melding seamlessly with fine grained French oak. This is a wine punching well above its weight division. Drinking beautifully now but will hold for a decade or more for those who like a more developed expression of the varietal.
