Many critics score this South Australia wine highly: The Wine Advocate gave the 2023 vintage a score of 97.
Critic tasting note: (2023 vintage) "An exercise in cool restraint. Opens with enticing spice-fueled aromatics and citrus with red apple, pear, creamy cashews and brine. Offers super fine layers of taut fruit matched to lemon balm, gentle oak spice and earthy mineral notes. This has the makings of a real keeper with a solid base line of phenolic extract and fine line acidity. It’s keeping its cards close to its vinous chest which has tended to be the case with many of the ’23 wines coming through. It’s not going to show all quite so soon but rather its building blocks, impressive, have been laid and there’s some exceptional drinking ahead." - Winepilot

- Producer Notes
- 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 ambition to create a white wine that would set the standard for ultra-fine Australian chardonnay. Selectively sourcing only the very best chardonnay fruit from cool-climate regions, coupled with clever winemaking, the style continues to evolve. Yattarna reflects Penfolds patience and continued commitment to its original goal, its very name being drawn from local indigenous language, meaning ‘little by little, gradually’. Each vintage provides the opportunity to further raise the quality bar.

Vintage quality: Poor
Current condition: Likely past it
Australia suffered a very poor 1989 vintage.
Much of Australia suffered from a searing heatwave and low rainfall. These conditions caused intense vine stress and many grapes shrivelled. In many cases, sugar levels ran too high, charging ahead of phenolic ripeness and man...
