✨ Technical Specifications
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.
🍾 About the Producer
Established in 1844 by Dr. Christopher and Mary Penfold at Magill Estate in the Mount Lofty foothills, Penfolds represents one of the foundational cornerstones of Australian fine wine. Over nearly two centuries, the house evolved from crafting fortified tonics to pioneering modern multi-regional and multi-vineyard blending across South Australia's premier terroirs, including the Barossa Valley, McLaren Vale, and Coonawarra. Soils span from rich terra rossa over limestone to weathered ironstone and alluvial clays under warm Mediterranean climates tempered by maritime breezes. Under the long-term stewardship of Chief Winemaker Peter Gago, the house adheres to Sustainable Winegrowing Australia standards while preserving an unmistakable house style defined by meticulous fruit classification, submerged-cap fermentation, and structured maturation in American and French oak hogsheads. Benchmark bottlings such as Grange (Bin 95), Bin 707 Cabernet Sauvignon, Bin 389 Cabernet Shiraz, and Yattarna Chardonnay define the apex of collectible New World viticulture.
