Penfolds Yattarna Chardonnay

In structure and refinement, 2010 is an eminently enduring and exactingly honed Yattarna at the pinnacle of the style. A whopping 96 percent Tasmanian fruit defines a breathtakingly refined structure, with high-tensile acidity that impales its core and penetrates long into the finish. There’s a wonderful interplay here between the cut of fresh lemon and crunchy pear fruit, the presence of white peach and fig and the layered struck flint and charcuterie complexity of barrel fermentation. This is a captivating Yattarna of confidence, focus and purity of structure.
