TASTING NOTE

PALATE

Lovely skin-derived phenolic grip and remarkable length are shown, lingering with quiet authority. Bright acidity frames layers of sea salt, caper, ocean freshness and raw kingfish sashimi, underpinned by an iron-like mineral grip and fine lemon curd creaminess. Alcohol and oak are almost imperceptible. 

NOSE
Focused and precise, revealing restrained complexity rather than overt generosity. Mineral elements dominate, ferrous, flinty and slate-like, evocative of wet stone freshly cut and interwoven with oyster shell, sea spray and crisp fresh linen. With a gentle swirl, subtle sweet and savoury accents emerge. Nougat with pistachio, green olive brine, curry leaf, roasted macadamia, slivered almond and brioche. A hint of struck-match and toasty oak spice round everything out.

COLOUR

Bright pale gold with a green hue.

OVERVIEW

First released in 1998 with the 1995 vintage, Yattarna is the result of one of the most comprehensive, focused, and highly-publicised wine development projects ever conducted in Australia.

The aspiration and independence of mind across generations of Penfolds winemakers inspired the ambition to create a white wine that would set the standard for ultra-fine Australian Chardonnay. In all, there were 144 trial wines made before Yattarna was eventually launched. The allotment of ‘Bin 144’ acknowledges this pioneering winemaking. By selectively sourcing only the finest Chardonnay grapes from cool-climate regions,

Yattarna reflects Penfolds continued commitment to our original goal, to forge a white wine of exceptional quality. The very name ‘Yattarna’ being drawn from an indigenous language, meaning ‘little by little, gradually’. Each new vintage invites the opportunity to further expand the boundaries of winemaking innovation, grape sourcing, and our understanding of this noble varietal.
