Penfolds Bin 51 Riesling, Eden Valley
Introduced in 1999 (originally as Eden Valley Reserve Bin Riesling), Bin 51 (from 2006) captures the attributes of the Eden Valley, adjacent to the Barossa Valley. The region’s altitude and cool climate consistently produces Riesling of great finesse and elegance with a capacity for long term cellaring. Bin 51 is typically fragrant with intense lime and rose petal aromas and fine, cutting acidity. It develops complexity and richness with age without losing clarity, freshness or linear acid structure. Grape parcels are batch-vinified in steel tanks and bottled early under screw-caps to preserve pristine fruit characters, freshness and natural mineral quality.
Hirsch Vineyards Estate Chardonnay
HIRSCH VINEYARDS Estate Chardonnay, Sonoma Coast Hirsch Chardonnay was envisioned to create a transparent expression of their unique vineyard site, striving to bring the acidity and minerality of the site forward, with fruit and oak playing a secondary role. David Hirsch, enamoured with Barolo, had the crazy idea to plant Nebbiolo. Friend, and Williams Selyem Founding Winemaker Burt Williams, told David he should try Chardonnay instead. Thus the old Chardonnay vineyard was born. Together these tiny plantings comprise the Estate Chardonnay: complex aromatics with a generous mouthfeel and refreshing minerality.

Chateau Gazin
With the estate itself dating back to 1772, and the logo taking inspiration from an ancient connection to the Knights Templars history in the Pomerol region, Chateau Gazin is steeped in both winemaking and national history. Sharing borders with Petrus and LEvangile, it more than holds its own among its distinguished peers! It has been in the possession of the same family since 1917, with the most recent descendent, Nicolas de Bailliencourt assuming control in 1988. Under de Bailliencourts watchful eye, the Chateau has abolished machine harvesting, making a return to hand-picking, and producing lower overall yields.
