WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Penfolds Bin 23 Pinot Noir is crafted through careful grape sourcing from Australia's cool-climate regions, with a primary focus on Tasmania. The fruit is fermented in French oak barriques, a technique that aids in developing the wine's structure and integrating subtle oak nuances. Following fermentation, the wine undergoes maturation in French oak barriques, with some vintages incorporating new oak. This process is designed to enhance the wine's texture and complexity while preserving the delicate characteristics of the Pinot Noir grape.
