When considering chilled wines in the Penfolds collection, it's essential to understand the nuances of serving temperatures. For red wines, the traditional temperature differs slightly from room temperature. Experimentation with chilling can enhance lighter-bodied reds like our Pinot Noir, Bin 138, or Bin 23, unveiling refreshing flavour profiles.
White wines, such as our Yattarna Chardonnay and Bin 51 Riesling, benefit from a slight chill, amplifying their vibrant and refreshing characteristics. Yattarna's elegance shines through at a cooler serving temperature, while Bin 51, with its crisp acidity and delicate aromatics, offers a more vibrant experience when enjoyed slightly chilled.
For our Champagne Thienot x Penfolds Champagne, serving chilled but not excessively cold preserves its nuanced flavours. Brief chilling in an ice bucket or refrigerator ensures a pleasantly cool champagne without compromising its aromatic and taste complexities.
Personal taste plays a crucial role in determining the ideal serving temperature. Experimenting with chilled wines can reveal different facets and enhance the tasting experience.
