WHAT: Penfolds Bin 51 Riesling 2010 (white)
WHERE: Eden Valley, Australia
WHY: When contemplating the wonders of Down Under, big fruity numbers usually come to mind, but this wine puts the “austere” back in “Australia.” Eden Valley Rieslings often represent some of the most direct expressions of the grape. Bin 51’s bouquet is dominated by minerality that doesn’t telegraph the palate-rattler that awaits. Like sucking on a lemon if that could be enjoyable. Not for the faint of mouth.
PRICE: 750 ml/$22.95
AVAILABILITY: At selected Vintages outlets (product #558650)
