| Tasting note |
A relatively recent millennial Penfolds reformation of its Chardonnay style(s) has strenuously embraced the vineyards of Tumbarumba. Yattarna now has to share this region’s spoils with its Bin 311 Chardonnay stablemate. And why not?! A refreshingly ‘different’ Chardonnay expression – many would be hard pressed to guess this wine blind! By Peter Gago, Penfolds Chief Wine Maker.
Bin 311 Chardonnay is sourced to style from a single, cool-climate (and some would say risky, marginal) region. In 2015, fruit sourcing has again come from Tumbarumba – one of Australia’s most exciting, cool-climate, high-altitude, viticultural districts. Penfolds has worked with Chardonnay from Tumbarumba since the early 1990s. The Bin 311 style typically exhibits a mineral acid backbone, complemented by barrel fermentation and maturation in seasoned oak. Minimal filtration is employed, preserving elegant fruit flavours.
