Penfolds Yattarna Chardonnay White Wine 2018 Australia 75cl
Penfolds Yattarna Bin 144 Chardonnay was launched in 1998 with the 1995 vintage. It 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 a program to create an ultra-fine Australian chardonnay.
Selectively sourcing only the very best Chardonnay fruit from cool climate regions, coupled with sensitive winemaking, the style continues to evolve.

Grape: Chardonnay
"All three regions enjoyed a relatively wet winter and spring, setting the vines up with healthy soil moisture profiles for the ensuing growing season. Tasmania experienced clear and generally warm conditions from January onwards, with no extreme heat spells leading into harvest. The temperature only breached 35°C once in January, resulting in optimal conditions for ripening. Tumbarumba had plentiful rainfall right up to December, when a dry spell set in. In February, temperatures were generally cool allowing for slow, consistent ripening. The Adelaide Hills fruit-set was slightly above average. The region experienced a warm finish to the growing season, however well-developed canopies shielded the fruit from adversity and ensured the berries ripened evenly. Harvest was an orderly affair across the three regions, with chardonnay exhibiting outstanding varietal characteristics with bracing natural acidity."
On the nose, there is a mist of citrus with hints of exotic white peach leading to the understated spoils of cool-climate chardonnay such as a waxiness, a whiff of cashew and a subtle creaminess. The palate holds substantial flavours with a great, mouth-filling textural dynamic. White stone fruits such as nectarine and peach and complemented by subtle oak and a zesty acidity.
