Critic tasting note: "Evaluating young Eden Valley Rieslings isn't easy, as they often don't show their full potential for several years. The 2012 Bin 51 is tight and linear, crisply focused and a bit one-dimensional at this age. But the lime-driven fruit is potent and the finish beautifully clean and long. It should develop well over the next 7–8 years or more." - 90/100, Wine Enthusiast

- Producer Notes
- 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. Bin 51 was created in the 1990s as part of the evolving Penfolds white wine development program. The first vintage in 1999 was labelled Eden Valley Reserve Bin Riesling. The evolution of Penfolds Bin 51 Eden Valley Riesling opens another chapter in a long history of Penfolds involvement in winemaking from this variety. Bin 51 Eden Valley Riesling is a classic style that has benefitted from years of trial, technical advances and progressive vineyard management.

Balanced, moderate crops and healthy canopies were the result of a drier and cool winter followed by a mild to warm spring. Some warmer days scattered throughout November accelerated maturity and explains an earlier harvest. Welcomed cool nights during ripening encouraged outstanding flavour development and exemplary sugar to acid ratios.

Pale straw. Giveaway Eden Valley florals, notably apple blossom and jasmine with perfumed bath salts, lime juice and lemon pith rounding out the aromatics with just a faint hint of spice to finish. Forefront, flavours of citrus, principally lemon juice/pith direct a path to mouthwatering, slatey acid and a fine phenolic finish adding structure, texture and length.

The 2012 vintage for Australia was generally very good.
A cooler than normal spring marked the beginning of the growing season. For much of the country, the chilly weather delayed both budburst and flowering and, despite some rain in certain regions, the ...
