Tasting Notes

Known as 'The White Grange', Yattarna stands at the pinnacle of Penfolds white winemaking, born from a bold vision to create an exceptional Australian Chardonnay. First released in 1998, it represents the culmination of years of research and innovation, with 144 trial wines laying the foundation for what would become Bin 144. Its name, drawn from an indigenous word meaning ‘little by little, gradually’, speaks to the dedication and pursuit of excellence that defines Penfolds. Only the finest quality Chardonnay fruit Penfolds source in any given vintage will go into the blend.

For the 2023 vintage, fruit was sourced from Tumbarumba, Adelaide Hills and Tasmania. Vibrant, elegant and very complete with superb fruit complexity, texture, and mineral length.

      Vintage Notes
      In Tumbarumba, a third consecutive La Niña season caused a spring deluge, halving expected yields. However, a warm, dry summer followed, allowing the limited crop to reach perfect ripeness, resulting in Chardonnay grapes of ‘A grade’ quality. The Adelaide Hills region experienced near-average winter rainfall but a very dry July. Spring rainfall caused logistical challenges with waterlogged vineyards and prevailing cool conditions led to delayed budburst and flowering. Some isolated spring hail events occurred, but drier conditions during flowering reduced disease pressure. The smaller crop benefited from the warmth in February, yielding Chardonnay grapes with high acidity, aromatic intensity, and tremendous depth of flavour. In Tasmania, a dry winter was followed by a very wet spring. A cold front delivered record-breaking rainfall in mid-October. The mild Tasmanian summer allowed the Chardonnay grapes to develop concentrated flavours and finesse, despite the smaller crop size.
