The Story

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.

Written Notes

Wonderfully fragrant, a little more
so than usual. Bursts forth from the glass and is also a little more forward
than usual. Notes of freshly sliced Granny Smith apples, limes, garden
herbs, spices and florals. Supple and seamless. Lots of flavour and while it
will certainly age, it is perhaps one for drinking a little earlier than
some releases. This is not a shy style at all. The 20th anniversary of this
popular Riesling. 91.

Pale lemon yellow. Apples, some pears, still some yeast notes nose. Fresh acidity, apples, lemons, elegant, good length. 87

  • 87p

Pale colour. Classic pure lime camomile aromas with herb garden notes. Well concentrated supple wine with lovely deep set generous pure lime, passionfruit, camomile flavours, extra-fine bitter chalky textures, mid-palate volume and long fresh indelible mouth-watering acidity. Finishes minerally with superb fruit persistency. Buoyant and delicious to drink with lovely richness and zip. Really can’t get much better than this. Will develop and unfold for years.
