Penfolds Chardonnay Reserve Bin 00A 2000
South Australia, AustraliaThis one-off 'special bin' wine was made alongside the 2000 vintage of Penfolds' flagship white wine, Yattarna. On rare occasions, Penfolds winemakers have issued 'one-off' Special Bin wines that allow them to identify unique parcels of quality wine and releasing them as individual ultra-premium wines. Examples such as the Bin 60A, Bin 90A and Kalimna Block 42 wines are highly sought after by wine collectors the world over. Bin 00A stems from the Yattarna chardonnay project and is a blend of chardonnay fruit 75/25 from Tumbarumba and Adelaide Hills. The entry is awash in lees and citrus fruit with more creamy mineral lees in the aftertaste. Big complex and as rare as it gets this is a fabulous Oz chardonnay.Tasted: 11 June 2003Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:| Australia | $60.00 | 750ml | Special Events Winery Only |
