2010 Bin 144 Yattarna Chardonnay

The 2010 Yattarna has stridently returned to Tasmania.

Nothing stands still ... what will next year's evolution deliver?

Peter Gago, Penfolds chief winemaker

95/100

The 2010 Yattarna Chardonnay is a 100% MLF wine made from a blend of fruit that is 96% from Tasmania, and 4% from the Adelaide Hills.

It exudes attractive floral notes of honeysuckle and jasmine notes with hints of toast, crushed stones and chalk over a grapefruit and pineapple core with a whiff of sulfide.

Light to medium-bodied, it is very tight with refreshing acid laced with hints of minerals.

Youthful, long and layered on the finish, it should age beautifully. Drink it now to 2020+.
