✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Penfolds Reserve Bin A Chardonnay (with the '14A' designation representing the highly acclaimed 2014 vintage) is a masterclass in cool-climate Australian winemaking. Sourced from the high-altitude, chilly slopes of the Adelaide Hills, this wine represents a sophisticated evolution from the rich, buttery Chardonnays of Australia's past. The winemaking process is defined by minimal intervention: hand-harvested fruit is whole-bunch pressed directly into French oak barriques for wild fermentation. It undergoes complete malolactic fermentation and is aged on its fine lees with regular stirring, imparting a creamy texture that beautifully balances its striking, flinty acidity. The 'Bin A' series has become a benchmark for modern Australian Chardonnay, celebrated for its complexity, mineral tension, and remarkable capacity to age.
🍾 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.
