Description

Bin 51 captures many of the attributes of the Eden Valley locale. The region’s high altitude and cool climate induces riesling with great finesse and elegance with a capacity for long-term cellaring. South Australia has gained worldwide recognition for producing world-class riesling and Eden Valley always features. In their youth, the wines possess scented floral and citrus aromas, with a mineral edge and marked natural acidity, contributing significantly to the palate texture and flavour.

The evolution of Penfolds Bin 51 Eden Valley Riesling opens another chapter in a long history of Penfolds involvement in winemaking from this variety.

A slightly fuller Riesling akin to the Bin 51’s of the early 2000’s,
no doubt due to the drier and warmer 2019 Eden Valley harvest.
Tempting flavours of lemon tea cake, apple strudel with jasmine
florals and Tahitian lime leaf round out a palate nevertheless
still enlivened by chalky acidity.
‘Softened’ and very approachable now. Recommend more
immediate drinking, with medium-term Eden Valley Riesling
cellarability.

Partake.
