Introduction
Bin 311 Chardonnay is sourced from a single region. Each year a selection will be made from a region to best reflect the Bin 311 style. Individual sites are then chosen to respect the 'terroir' and to reflect the characters of both vineyard and region.
PENFOLDS has worked with Chardonnay from Tumbarumba since the early 1990s. As the vines have aged and PENFOLDS understanding of the region has evolved, it seems only natural to demonstrate this experience, and the outstanding vintage, with the 2005 PENFOLDS Bin 311 Tumbarumba Chardonnay.
The style expresses regional fruit characters. A mineral acid backbone is complimented by fermentation, and then maturation in two and three year old oak. Minimal filtration is employed, preserving the elegant fruit flavours.
