Penfolds Bin 144 Chardonnay Yattarna 2019 750ml
Launched in 1998 with the 1995 vintage, Yattarna 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 the ambition to create a white wine that would set the standard for ultra-fine Australian chardonnay. Selectively sourcing only the very best chardonnay fruit from cool climate regions, coupled with clever winemaking, the style continues to evolve. Yattarna reflects Penfolds patience and continued commitment to its original goal, its very name being drawn from local indigenous language, meaning little by little, gradually. Each vintage provides the opportunity to further raise the quality bar.
97 Points - Robert Parker
Lovely crème brûlée and lemon meringue notes mark the nose of the 2019 Yattarna Chardonnay joining hints of white peaches and Anjou pears. A medium to full-bodied effort it's rich and concentrated but hangs together really well built around a silky layered texture a core of lemony acids and a long long finish.
