2024 Penfolds Bin 51 Riesling, Eden Valley

The 2024 Bin 51 presents as a wonderfully focused, perfumed release with floral tones of Christmas lily and orange blossom flitting around the vibrant lime and grapefruit core. Hints of finger lime, lemongrass, crushed quartz and makrut lime. A light slick of phenolic texture on the edges creates textural complexity, and there's ample minerally drive as the wine finishes taut, long and stony dry.

Very pale gold with fluorescent lime green hues. Highly perfumed. Varietal markers immediately apparent. Scented bath salts and floral notes of white citrus blossom and jasmine allude to regionality. On further inspection, scents emerge of blackcurrant leaf and finger limes/lemon pith. A classic Eden Valley Riesling.

Very fresh and flavorful. First impressions are of lemon zest and just squeezed lime juice. The palate has a fleshy, pithy texture with chalky minerality and mouth-watering acidity. At once salivating, inviting, elegant. While this is a lighter-bodied wine, it has plenty of volume and power. A spell in the cellar will invite the emergence of more complex maturation characters.
