Wine Summary Image

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.

Expert Reviews

92 Points - Joe Czerwinski, Published 23 July, 2020.

Always one of the better values in the Penfolds lineup, the 2020 Bin 51 Riesling delivers wonderfully floral, citrusy aromas that resemble apple blossoms and lime sherbet, with just a touch of peachy ripeness. It's light to medium-bodied, taut and chiseled, built around a strong spine of acidity that should help ensure a long, positive evolution.

Winery Tasting Notes

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 …

Winery Profile

Australia's winemaking history of less than two hundred years is brief by European measures though, like Europe, punctuated by periods of extreme success and difficult times. From the earliest winemaking days Penfolds has figured prominently and few would argue the importance of Penfolds' influence on Australia's winemaking psyche.

Without the influence of Penfolds the modern Australian wine industry would look very different indeed. Sitting comfortably outside of fad and fashion, Penfolds has taken Australian wine to the world on a grand stage and forged a reputation for quality that is without peer.

Penfolds' reputation for making wines of provenance and cellaring potential might suggest a mantle of tradition and formality is the preferred attire of a company with so much history to defend. But to label Penfolds as simply an established and conventional winemaker, would be to confuse tradition with consideration and to overlook the innovative spirit that has driven Penfolds since its foundation, and continues to find expression in modern times.

If there is anything traditional about Penfolds, it is the practice of constantly reviewing the wines it already does well, and continuously evolving and refining styles as vineyards mature and access to ever older and more varied vineyard sites improves.
