Taste Description

Taste Description

2023 Bin 51 Eden Valley Riesling

Colour

Very pale with lime green hues.

Nose

Gorgeous varietal aromatics. Punchy citrus fruits jump out: lime zest, lemon blossom/pith. Spring flowers – jonquil and apple blossom. Perfumed bath salts. Exotic fruits.

Palate

Fresh and zesty. Citrus characters abound, lime juice noted. Flavoursome exotic fruits, feijoa, persimmon. There is a lovely drive to this wine, with mineral, mouth-watering/juicy mineral acidity. A wet stone/river pebble finish. Delicious now, with the promise of more to come.

Vintage conditions

The winter of 2022 was one of contrasts - June and August were both above average with over 100mm of rain falling, however July was one of the driest on record. Novel solutions were required. For the first time, a drone was used to spray all the Woodbury riesling grapes. This maintained healthy vine canopies.  The wet conditions made the growing season cooler than average and hence the vine growth rate was slow. The cool conditions through summer delayed the start of vintage but resulted in a long, slow ripening period. The grapes developed terrific flavour and retained racy acidity. The 2023 vintage will be remembered for excellent quality wines with riesling showing strong varietal markers backed by fine acidity.

The Bin 51 Story

Bin 51 was created in the 1990s as part of the evolving Penfolds white wine development program. The first vintage in 1999 was labelled Eden Valley Reserve Bin Riesling. The evolution of Penfolds Bin 51 Eden Valley Riesling opens another chapter in a long history of Penfolds involvement in winemaking from this variety.
