✨ Tekniske specifikationer
While Penfolds is historically famous for its monumental red wines, the house undertook a white wine revolution in the late 20th century to create a white counterpart to Grange. This movement focused heavily on cool-climate Chardonnay, primarily sourced from the high-altitude, chilly slopes of the Adelaide Hills in South Australia. Penfolds' premium Chardonnay style, exemplified by their Reserve Bin A, represents a sophisticated, contemporary approach to the varietal. The winemaking involves hand-harvesting, whole-bunch pressing, and wild fermentation in French oak barriques. Regular lees stirring (battonage) and controlled malolactic fermentation impart a rich, creamy texture and complex nutty, nougat-like characters, balanced by a striking natural acidity and a distinctive, flinty mineral finish.
🍾 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.
