Penfolds Bin 51 Eden Valley Riesling 2022

Penfolds is probably the most extraordinary of the world’s wine brands with an enviable reputation for quality at every price level. The original Penfold was an English doctor who, in 1844, planted grapes at Magill, now a suburb of Adelaide. However, it was not until the late 1940s that Penfolds began to forge a reputation for red wine.

The Penfolds house style emerged from a fortified wine-producing culture and evolved as a winemaking philosophy that has had a profound effect on the entire Australian wine industry.

Bin 51 captures many attributes of the Eden Valley locale. The region’s high altitude and cool climate induce 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.
