Penfolds Yattarna Chardonnay Vertical Trio (3 x 750ml)

Product Description:

The Penfolds Yattarna Chardonnay Vertical Trio brings together the 2017, 2018 and 2019 vintages of Australia’s most ambitious Chardonnay project. Conceived as the white counterpart to Grange, Yattarna represents decades of refinement, selectively sourcing Chardonnay from the country’s finest cool-climate vineyards, including Tasmania, Tumbarumba and the Adelaide Hills. Its name, derived from an Indigenous Australian word meaning “little by little, gradually”, reflects the patient evolution of a wine style defined by precision, restraint and longevity. 

Presented as a vertical collection, this trio offers a rare opportunity to explore the subtle influence of vintage on one of Australia's most collectible white wines. The 2017 release showcases purity and understated power, with citrus-driven fruit and seamless texture. The 2018 vintage leans into mineral tension and cool-climate finesse, while 2019 combines concentration and structure with remarkable energy and length. Together, these wines reveal Yattarna’s distinctive balance of fruit, acidity, lees complexity and carefully integrated French oak.

For collectors, enthusiasts and lovers of world-class Chardonnay, this vertical provides an illuminating snapshot of Penfolds’ pursuit of excellence. Equally compelling as a cellar-worthy acquisition or a comparative tasting experience, it pairs beautifully with lobster, scallops, roast chicken or refined seafood dishes.

FINISH:
- Enduring Minerality
Exceptionally long, focused and poised, with chalky mineral tension, saline freshness and lingering citrus persistence.
