✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Penfolds Reserve Bin A Chardonnay (with individual vintages designated by codes such as Bin 08A for the 2008 vintage) represents a landmark evolution in premium Australian white winemaking. Sourced entirely from the cool-climate, high-altitude vineyards of the Adelaide Hills, this wine was conceived as an exploration of contemporary, elegant Chardonnay. The winemaking process is highly detailed: fruit is hand-picked, whole-bunch pressed directly into French oak barriques (both new and seasoned) for wild fermentation, and allowed to undergo 100% malolactic fermentation. Regular lees stirring (battonage) is employed to build a rich, creamy texture that beautifully balances the grape's intense natural acidity and signature flinty, matchstick complexity. The Reserve Bin A series has garnered global acclaim, redefining the standard for sophisticated, age-worthy Australian Chardonnay.
🍾 Om vinhuset / producenten
Penfolds blev grundlagt i 1844 af dr. Christopher Rawson Penfold og hans hustru Mary på Magill Estate i South Australia og er i dag et af Australiens ældste og mest ikoniske vinhuse. Ejendommen opnåede legendarisk international anerkendelse i 1950'erne under den visionære chefvinmager Max Schubert, som skabte Penfolds Grange og revolutionerede landets vinfremstilling. Drevet af en berømt filosofi om at blande på tværs af regioner og druesorter udvælger Penfolds enestående druer fra historiske australske terroirs – herunder Barossa Valley, McLaren Vale og Coonawarra – samt fra udvalgte internationale topområder. Vinhuset er verdenskendt for kraftfulde, upåklageligt strukturerede og særdeles lagringsværdige vine anført af flagskibet Grange, Bin 707 Cabernet Sauvignon og den berømmede Bin-serie.
