Drink it now or cellar for up to 15 years. No need to decant, but best to open it half an hour before service. Known throughout the world for its wide range of excellent wines (many of which are often sold at auction), Penfolds is one of Australia's oldest and most prestigious wine producers. The company was founded at the end of the nineteenth century by Christopher Rawson Penfold, who decided to plant some cuttings of French vines to produce medicinal wine. In the 1950s, the arrival of the oenologist Max Schubert in the company led to the production of Grange, their flagship wine, and to a very important leap in quality. Today the winery owns numerous vineyards in South Australia and purchases grapes from selected growers. The Chardonnay grapes are sourced from vineyards located in the Adelaide Hills. The harvest is manual and the fermentation occurs spontaneously with indigenous yeasts. The wine then matures on its lees to acquire more structure and complexity. Penfolds Reserve Bin A Chardonnay is a straw yellow wine with lemon yellow nuances. On the nose, it reveals a delicious aromatic profile with stone fruits and pear, custard and lemon curd, and a delicate finish of sweet spices and almonds. On the palate, it is soft and generous with a good mineral vein and an invigorating acidity. The finish is long and pleasantly balanced. Pair it with roast chicken and medium-aged cheeses.
