Product Description
Bin 23’s name is derived from the place the wine matures, ‘Cellar 23’ at Magill Estate and follows in the footsteps of the success and development of the Penfolds Cellar Reserve Adelaide Hills Pinot Noir. Bin 23 Pinot Noir is a bold, and dynamic inclusion to the Penfolds red wine stable – reflecting an evolving style, regional definition and the complexities of the many and varied pinot noir clones. The relationship between Penfolds and cool-climate regions continues with the multi-regional sourcing of Bin 23 Pinot Noir.

Product details
THE BIN 23 STORY
Bin 23’s name is derived from the Pinot Noir maturation location ‘Cellar 23’ at Magill Estate. First vintaged in 2009, it is a distinctive style especially made for Penfolds drinkers who enjoy rich, mouth-filling wines with plenty of fruit generosity and flavour length.
VINTAGE CONDITIONS
The 2019 vintage was strong on quality across all three cool-climate regions. The Tamar Valley in Tasmania experienced average rainfall over the growing season, with spring temperatures close to the long-term average. Summer was warm, with a maximum of 34.5°C recorded on January 25th. The Adelaide Hills was challenged by low winter rainfall yet nevertheless produced grapes with very strong flavour profiles. Summer was generally hot across Australia, with two heatwaves in January mitigated by cooler spells in-between. Adelaide Hills vines were well placed to see off the summer heat spikes with few issues. In Henty, careful canopy management and targeted irrigation shielded the grapes during the hot spells. Warm, settled and dry conditions prevailed during harvest allowing for excellent varietal flavour development and an orderly vintage.
TASTE DESCRIPTION
Immediately an assertion of strawberry cream/framboise ‘varietal correctness’! An enchanting and transcendent fraises des bois subtle herbaceousness arouses further interest and endearment. A hint of fresh tobacco, sage... and red currant pastille fruits. Spicy oak is evident, yet respectful.
