Cool Climate Australian - 88p

Penfolds is without comparison the best producer in Australia. They are behind a number of truly remarkable wines, with their red "Grange" ranging at the top. A wine that needs 50 years of cellaring before opening. Our wine of the week, however, is great right now and ready for consumption.
The Bin 311 variety of Penfolds Chardonnay is a cool climate one, sourcing grapes from different regions for every vintage. The winemaker makes a point to get the grapes from regions that have had the most beneficial climate every year. And for the 2020 vintage grapes were sourced from Tasmania, Adelaide Hills and Henty. All known for their excellent cool climate.

Tasting Notes

Penfolds Bin 311 Chardonnay 2020 - 279kr

Pale yellow colour. 
This is a very mineral wine, with a delicious nose of lime, lemons, grapefruit and roasted pistachios. 
Great in the mouth with clear notes of citrus and lemon curd. Great acidity and a long oatmeal cookie kind of finish.

With food
The vibrant acidity makes this a very versatile wine for food pairing. Will of course be great with white fish and buttery sauce, but try it with risotto or a lean pork dish.
