ABOUT THIS WINE
Penfolds Bin 311 Chardonnay was first released in 2005 as a single-region wine from Tumbarumba. Over time, it evolved into a multi-regional cool-climate blend, sourcing fruit from premier high-altitude and cool-climate vineyards across South Australia, Tasmania, and New South Wales. Frequently incorporating fruit lots initially earmarked for Penfolds' flagship Yattarna, Bin 311 showcases the estate's philosophy of selecting fruit from regions where it grows best.
