Penfolds Bin 51 Eden Valley Riesling 2020

Created in the 1990’s as part of the evolving Penfolds white wine development program, Bin 51 captures many 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 definitive 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.

Taste Description

Colour
Very pale straw with lime green hues

Nose
Aromatics instantly propelled from glass – white florals, star fruit, lemon sherbet, green lime and lime pith.
Definitively Eden Valley – convincingly confirmed by subtle Meyer lemon blossom wafting above classic Eden Valley bath salts and talc.
Fresh and vibrant. Inviting. Engaging.

Palate
An initial breadth of flavor (freshly squeezed lime and other citrus derivatives) – yet structurally remaining tightly defined.
Round and generous. Soft (lacy) acidity conveys fruit, adding persistence, length.
Great drinkability and great balance. Deceptively powerful. All augers well …

Vintage Conditions

Eden Valley experienced plentiful winter rainfall, with average falls leading into spring. However, the following summer and autumn were very dry, with well below average rainfall. Spring and early summer were dry, hot and windy, which impacted final yields, however reduced disease pressure during the growing season. From January, the season became cooler than average with a low number of days over 35°C, near perfect ripening conditions, with cool nights and mild days. Riesling was harvested in the early hours of the mornings, with overnight temperatures clutching 5-10°C, allowing for greater acid retention and flavour development. Harvest commenced on February 19th and concluded on February 26th. Overall, a relatively small but high-quality crop of Eden Valley riesling.
