Penfolds Yattarna Chardonnay 2023

Product Description Bottled serenity—Yattarna’s refined hallmark. Penfolds Yattarna Chardonnay 2023 stands as the pinnacle of Penfolds’ white wine portfolio, a wine born from its legendary 1995 debut—the so-called "White Grange" that captured national attention. This vintage continues that legacy, showcasing the finesse, precision, and uplifted purity that define modern Australian Chardonnay. The fruit is drawn from Penfolds’ most carefully selected vineyard sites, blended with meticulous intention to deliver a seamless, poised experience. Born from a legacy of innovation, this wine reflects Penfolds’ unwavering house philosophy: fruit-led elegance, regional diversity, and technical mastery. The 2023 vintage is executed with extreme attention to detail—from careful picking to refined fermentation regimes—to achieve a wine of harmony rather than overt power. Designed to benefit from bottle age, Yattarna is approachable in its youth yet built for graceful evolution over 3–12 years. It pairs exquisitely with fine poultry, shellfish in butter sauce, or mushroom risotto where subtle richness and clarity shine. Tasting Notes NOSE – Subtle stonefruit White peach and nectarine underpinned by a whisper of toasted almond and lemon flower.

FINISH – Lingering restraint Chalky mineral lift and citrus pith fade with poise and length. Reviews & Accolades “Refinement, precision, quiet energy. It contains multitudes. White peach, grapefruit, fine white florals, roasted chestnuts and the sea spray from waves hitting chalky cliffs. The faintest spicing from deftly handled French oak. Sustained, unwavering and pure, with a high‑tensile, crystalline finish. A seriously world‑class chardonnay.” – Nick Ryan, The Australian, 97 points (July 2025) “Flinty and austere when first poured… revealing stone and citrus fruit and lactic, roasted nut aromas—but will evolve gracefully in the cellar. The elegant palate is poised with quiet power, acid freshness balancing richness.” – Christina Pickard, Wine Enthusiast, 94 points (March 2025) “This blended wine seems like a, some might say, heretical amalgam of all seven Grands Crus. It is expansive and resonant, pulsing with spectacular fruit. I know many will prefer Bin A for the first three or four years, but from the turn of the decade, Yattarna will glide away into the sunset!” – Matthew Jukes, Penfolds, 19+/20 points “Pristine grapefruit, lemon and white peach ride a wave of luminous acidity. Vibrant energy, precision and cool-season clarity power a finish of outstanding line and length. Another magnificent Yattarna.” – Tyson Stelzer, Wine Companion, 97 points “A masterful blend of Tumbarumba, Adelaide Hills, and Tasmania showcases why these regions are the gold standard for Chardonnay. Mineral and tense yet voluptuous and generous, with notes of peaches and cream, burnt orange zest, Ambrosia apple, pink grapefruit, grilled hazelnuts and a hint of vanilla slice. Bright acidity pulls through citrus, green and tropical fruit, while waves of spice and stone fruit alternate with saltiness. Graceful volume and engaging personality.” – Lisa Cardelli, WinePilot, 97 points Finer Details: Style - White Wine Varietal - Chardonnay Country - Australia Region - Tasmania, Adelaide Hills Vintage - 2023 Bottle Size - 750 ml ABV - 12.5 % Closure - Screwcap
