Bin 51 captures many attributes of the Eden Valley locale. The region’s high altitude and cool climate induces riesling with great finesse and elegance and a capacity for long-term cellaring. South Australia has gained worldwide recognition for producing definitive world-class riesling and Eden Valley always features.
In the 2023 vintage, explore typical Eden Valley aromatics of lifted orange blossom & freshly diced pink lady apples. The palate brims with alluring flavours of blood orange, passionfruit & lime, balanced with a natural zesty lemon acid.

“A vintage to remember. An outstanding crop, with gorgeous aromatics and racy acidity.” - Kym Schroeter, Penfolds White Winemaker

"’23 Bin 51 has stunning purity and directness with a tenderness I haven’t seen before at this early stage of this wine’s life. Pretty, clean, lemony and chalky, there is more flesh than pith in this wine. Mesmerising and ridiculously yummy already, this is as teasing a start to a Collection tasting as I have ever experienced. Having said this, I doubt it will make 20 years, preferring to pluck this particular flower this side of a decade. Drink now – 2032. 11% alc – 18 points"
Very pale with lime green hues.
Gorgeous varietal aromatics. Punchy citrus fruits jump out: lime zest, lemon blossom/pith. Spring flowers – jonquil and apple blossom. Perfumed bath salts. Exotic fruits.
Fresh and zesty. Citrus characters abound, lime juice noted. Flavoursome exotic fruits, feijoa, persimmon. There is a lovely drive to this wine, with mineral, mouth-watering/juicy mineral acidity. A wet stone/river pebble finish. Delicious now, with the promise of more to come.
The winter of 2022 was one of contrasts - June and August were both above average with over 100mm of rain falling, however July was one of the driest on record. Novel solutions were required. For the first time, a drone was used to spray all the Woodbury riesling grapes. This maintained healthy vine canopies. The wet conditions made the growing season cooler than average and hence the vine growth rate was slow. The cool conditions through summer delayed the start of vintage but resulted in a long, slow ripening period. The grapes developed terrific flavour and retained racy acidity. The 2023 vintage will be remembered for excellent quality wines with riesling showing strong varietal markers backed by fine acidity.
