2012 Reserve Bin A Adelaide Hills Chardonnay

A complex and well-structured wine with great intensity of flavour afforded by one of the great Adelaide Hills vintages.

Benchmark Bin A … an exceptional white vintage.

Peter Gago, Penfolds chief winemaker

92+/100

The 2012 Reserve Bin A Chardonnay reveals a gorgeous, tropical and apricot-scented nose embellished by a judicious touch of oak, some sulphides and a nice touch of nuttiness.

Light to medium-bodied, the palate is crisp and tight-knit around mineral and citrus flavours through the long finish.
