Penfolds Bin 51 is a benchmark dry Riesling drawn from the high, cool vineyards of the Eden Valley in South Australia, a region long prized for the purity and precision it brings to the variety.
Fermented cool in stainless steel and left unoaked, it pours pale straw with green tints and lifts with aromas of fresh lime, lemon blossom and green apple, threaded with delicate floral and mineral notes. The palate is crisp and tightly focused, its zesty citrus flavours carried by racy natural acidity to a clean, dry finish.
Bright and refreshing in its youth, it also has the structure to reward a few years in the cellar, where it can develop the toasty, honeyed complexity typical of finely aged Riesling.
