From vibrant Champagne, to lively Riesling, through to elegant reds, you’ll discover the perfect wines for the summer months.

CHARDONNAY

Chardonnay is incredibly malleable, lending itself to many different styles and its moniker of the winemaker’s varietal. From rich, weighty and plush, to austere, bright and elegant, there is a Penfolds Chardonnay for every occasion. Over summer, Bin 311 makes a refreshing and complex addition to any Sunday lunch.

RIESLING

Scented floral and citrus aromas, a mineral edge and marked natural acidity – the characteristics of Riesling lend themselves charmingly to warm days and nights. Bin 51 is regularly sought after on release for its bright and vibrant profile.

CHAMPAGNE

No wine is more desired to mark a moment or toast an occasion than Champagne. More than just that though, Penfolds Champagnes are the perfect way to commence a meal and elevate your summer festivities.

PINOT NOIR

A varietal of ancient standing, long admired by wine enthusiasts for producing elegant, aromatic, and ethereal red wine. Being lighter in body, these wines shine in alfresco or outdoor dining settings. Penfolds Bin 23 is an outstanding example of a Penfolds summer red wine.

GRENACHE

An incredibly versatile varietal that can be crafted to be bold and powerful or to be delicate and elegant. Penfolds Bin 21 is a juicy and aromatic expression which can also be served slightly chilled for warm days.

GSM

Drawing inspiration from the complex and perfumed blends of Southern Rhône, this blend of Shiraz, Grenache and Mataro delivers a richly expressive red that is well placed throughout the year. Seek out Bin 138 for your next summer BBQ.

OUR HOUSE STYLE

Driven by the singular ambition to craft white wines of equal prestige to our reds, these trials gave rise to distinctive Riesling and two exceptional styles of Chardonnay: the graceful finesse of Yattarna and the bold opulence of Reserve Bin A.

Today, under the custodianship of White Winemaker Kym Schroeter, these wines are celebrated testaments to our House Style.

As the days grow warmer discover the refined elegance of Penfolds white wines.
