Founded in 1844 in South Australia, Penfolds is one of the world’s most iconic and celebrated wine producers. Blending tradition with innovation, Penfolds has crafted some of the most collectible and distinguished wines. 

Nicknamed ‘The White Grange,’ Yattarna sits at the pinnacle of Penfolds’ white wine portfolio. It was born from an ambitious goal, to craft an outstanding Australian Chardonnay. Since its debut in 1998, Yattarna has embodied the results of years of research and refinement, with 144 trial wines paving the way for what is now known as Bin 144. Its name, derived from an Indigenous word meaning "little by little, gradually", reflects the patience, commitment, and pursuit of excellence that define Penfolds winemaking. Only the finest Chardonnay fruit sourced in any vintage earns its place in the final blend.

Tasting Notes

72% Tasmania (predominantly Central Highlands and Coal River Valley, with a little Derwent Valley), 22% Tumbarumba (for minerality and linearity), 6% Adelaide Hills (for richness); matured eight months in 60% new French oak barriques. An ultra-cool climate blend of Tasmania, Tumbarumba and Adelaide Hills fruit wastes no time in setting the terms of engagement with a wine of infinite class. The flinty/smoky aromas introducing an almost painful intensity on the mercurial palate, a celebration of white-fleshed stone fruits. It has made light work of 8 months in 100% new French oak. Struts its stuff without a care in the world. 99 Points - Halliday Wine Companion, James Halliday (2021).
