While the other Chardonnays from Penfolds are typical multi-regional blends, the fruit of the "Reserve Bin 21A" comes exclusively from the Adelaide Hills. The Chardonnay was pressed as a whole bunch and matured for nine months in French barriques with 50% new wood. As the vintage was cool, the wine is characterised by an elegant citrus note and a tangy acidity. It is a fascinatingly fine, delicate, powerful wine that is like an Australian-style Chablis Grand Cru. Penfolds Chardonnays have never been as good as they are today.

The place of origin and "spiritual home" of the Penfolds Winery is the Magill Estate, just a few minutes from Adelaide. in 1844, Christopher and Mary Jenfeld planted vine cuttings that they had taken with them on their trip to Australia.
