Launched in 1998 with the 1995 vintage, Penfolds Yattarna Chardonnay is the result of one of the most comprehensive, focussed and highly publicised wine development projects ever conducted in Australia. The aspiration and independence of mind
across generations of Penfolds winemaking inspired the winery to embark on a program to create a white wine that could one day rival the standards of Penfolds Grange.
Selectively sourcing only the very best Chardonnay fruit from
cool-climate regions, coupled with sensitive and enlightened
winemaking, the style continues to evolve. Yattarna reflects Penfolds' patience and continued commitment to its original goal, its very name being drawn from the Aboriginal
language, meaning 'little by little, gradually'. Each vintage
provides the opportunity to further raise the quality bar.
