Special Bin A was originally crafted as a close sibling to Penfold's prestigious flagship Yattarna Chardonnay. Subsequent editions of Reserve Bin A were all enthusiastically received upon release and have encouraged the continuation of these superior vintage wines. Special Bins are made to showcase what the Penfolds team can achieve when they have access to small quantities of high quality material from exceptional vintage years. Special Bin A is crafted from a collation of the finest Adelaide Hills Chardonnay available to Penfolds.
Penfolds Reserve Bin A has evolved into a recognizable single region style of its own, a distinctive and contemporary expression of Adelaide Hills Chardonnay. Grapes are all hand picked into small bins and whole bunch pressed. Juices are incrementally filled, directly from the press, into an extravagantly high proportion of new French oak barriques and treated to a natural wild yeast vinification. Every individual barrique creates its own unique 225 litre ferment. Enhanced mouth feel and luxurious complexities are achieved by fermenting on grape solids. All barrels complete full natural malolactic, followed by nine months maturation before bottling without filtration. Alcohol 13.0%
TASTING NOTES
Very light straw with lime green hues. Nectarine and white peach fruits up front, peach blossom overlay, engaging scents of roasted cashew and pistachio nougat, a suggestion of air dried pancetta. Complexing gun smoke and rock flint sulphides arise, compliments of earlier barrel ferment and lees contact. Citrus and lemon sherbet zestiness on the palate, natural limestone acidity. Fruit, acid and barely perceptible oak all cohesively aligned.

More About Penfolds Wines
Penfolds was founded by a young English doctor who migrated to one of his country's most distant colonies a century and a half ago
Dr Christopher Rawson Penfold was born in 1811, the youngest of 11 children. He studied medicine at St Bartholomew's Hospital, London, graduating in 1838. Like many doctors before and since, Dr Penfold had a firm belief in the medicinal value of wine. Before he left Britain he had obtained vine cuttings from the south of France and these were planted around the site of the modest stone cottage he built with his wife, Mary, at Magill on the outskirts of Adelaide in 1845. The couple called this house The Grange, after Mary's home in England. Penfolds»
