Penfolds Bin 311 Chardonnay 2020 is a cool-climate Chardonnay sourced primarily from Tasmania, Piccadilly and Henty, with fruit selected to reflect a leaner, precision-driven style aligned with Penfolds’ white-wine program. The wine is fermented and matured for around eight months in French oak barriques, 41 % new, with minimal filtration. Alcohol sits at approximately 13 %, with high natural acidity and low pH contributing to its tension and structure.
The profile is dry and medium-bodied, showing citrus and stone-fruit flavours supported by subtle lees character and restrained oak. Acidity is a defining feature, giving the wine a linear, mineral feel and a persistent finish. Bin 311 2020 is approachable now but has the balance and concentration to develop well over the medium term.
What the critics say:
"Limpid yellow. Pungent lemon curd, dried pear and nectarine aromas are complemented by smoky mineral, fennel and vanilla nuances. Chewy and sharply focused on the palate, offering concentrated citrus and orchard fruit flavors that show firm tension and a floral nuance that builds with air. A hint of marzipan lingers as mineral and floral notes carry through the firm finish."
"Fresh, clean and unadorned, this mod Australian Chardonnay is in unabashed naked form here. Volume on the fruit notes is turned down – white nectarines over lean grapefruit – and the focus is on the even, modulated mid-palate. It’s a long, easy ride through the flavours, held in check by fine-grained oak that promotes a lovely savoury lick at the finish."
