True to House Style, Penfolds Bin 311 Chardonnay takes advantage of the classification system and flow down of high-grade fruit, including material initially earmarked for Bin 144 Yattarna Chardonnay. Although primarily based on Tumbarumba fruit until recent years, the style is not based on terroir, but on a high altitude/low latitude cool-climate fruit profile. The style, just like its sibling Bin 28, has evolved to multi-regional sourcing to achieve continuity and consistency of style.

Barrel fermentation and lees stirring are employed to build richness and flavour complexity. Typically, Bin 311 Chardonnay is fresh and crunchy with fragrant white peach, pear skin aromas, flinty complexity, creamy textures and long indelible acidity. Opportune Yattarna relegations endowed Bin 311 with some new oak from the 2017 vintage onwards.

Lovely purity and transparency. DR NEIL BECKETT, PhD
