2012 Penfolds Bin 144 Yattarna
"A Yattarna that returns to three of its tried and proven regional sources, each asserting its right to remain in the blend... this struggle just that little bit harder every year. High stakes indeed"
-Peter Gago, Penfolds Chief Winemaker
97 Points, Gourmet Traveller
"Multi-layered nougat, spice, citrus and subtle marzipan nuances. Wonderful depth and focus on the palate:very refined and subtle but great piercing drive and length, building as it progresses."
Langton’s First Classified.
Overview:
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 winery to embark on a program to create a white wine that stands alongside the standards of Grange. Selectively sourcing only the very best Chardonnay fruit from cool-climate regions, coupled with sensitive 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.
