Penfolds Yattarna, first launched in 1998, was the result of an intensive internal project to create a white counterpart to the legendary Grange. The 'V Yattarna' takes this pursuit of perfection to an extraordinary level by blending five exceptional vintages into a single, harmonious masterpiece. Sourced from premium cool-climate regions including Tasmania, Tumbarumba, and the Adelaide Hills, this multi-vintage Chardonnay showcases the ultimate art of blending across both space and time. The wine undergoes meticulous French oak maturation, resulting in a complex, highly structured profile that beautifully juxtaposes the vibrant acidity of youth with the rich, savory depth of matured library vintages. It stands as a testament to Penfolds' pioneering spirit and mastery of multi-regional blending.
🍾 wine.about_producer
Founded in 1844 by Dr. Christopher and Mary Penfold at Magill Estate near Adelaide, Penfolds is one of Australia's oldest and most iconic wineries, now headquartered in Nuriootpa, South Australia. The estate is celebrated for pioneering a unique house style centered on multi-regional and multi-vineyard blending, a philosophy perfected by legendary winemaker Max Schubert in the mid-20th century. Penfolds is globally renowned for its robust, structured red wines aged in premium oak, most notably its flagship Grange—a rich, collectible Shiraz-based blend—alongside acclaimed expressions like Bin 389 Cabernet Shiraz and Bin 707 Cabernet Sauvignon. Today, while maintaining its deep South Australian roots, the producer has expanded its winemaking footprint to include exceptional terroirs in California, Bordeaux, and beyond.
