97 points “The introduction of a flinty spark to the nose shows that Yattarna has moved again in style now standing proudly like a more rarefied polished version of the impressive Reserve Bin A model. It allows the pristine fruit to speak in nuanced tones its airy dance of lemon mandarin and grapefruit notes swooping into a darker sterner mid-palate where delicate oak frames pristine white nectarine and adds just enough savoury bite.” – Decanter
97 points “Lovely crème brûlée and lemon meringue notes mark the nose of the 2019 Yattarna Chardonnay joining hints of white peaches and Anjou pears. A medium to full-bodied effort it's rich and concentrated but hangs together really well built around a silky layered texture a core of lemony acids and a long long finish.” – Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate
A well-deserved winner of the Cross-Regional Blend Chardonnay Trophy at the International Wine Challenge 2021.
First launched with the 1995 vintage Bin 144 Yattarna is the result of one of the most comprehensive focused and highly publicised wine development projects Australia has ever seen. Penfolds had a dream to create an ultrafine Chardonnay that would set the benchmark for the country; they achieved this using fruit from cool-climate regions. Crafted using Chardonnay grown in Tasmania (57%) Tumburumba (32%) and Adelaide Hills (11%) Yattarna is aged for eight months in French oak and needs to be tasted to be believed. Wood-driven and big-boned this white ripples with muscular chestnut oatmeal white chocolate praline sliced apple ripe pear white peach tarte tatin vanilla French apricot pastry and pencil shavings. The name Yattarna comes from the Aboriginal language meaning “little by little”. And gradually this wine is raising the standard of Australian Chardonnay with every new release.
Penfolds is certainly Australia’s and possibly one of the world’s most iconic wine producers. Established in 1844 it boasts an enviable history that most wineries in the Old World would give their right arm for. Most famous for its flagship wine Penfolds Grange which is the very definition of Australian fine wine and the 1955 vintage was even described by Wine Spectator as one of the “Wines of the Century”. Penfolds owe much of their success to Max Schubert their winemaker who travelled to Europe after World War II and came back with all kinds of secrets. His innovative often multi-regional blends have become part of the DNA of Penfolds and now the wines are the choice of connoisseurs and collectors all over the world.
