🏰The 2022 Penfolds Yattarna, often referred to as Penfolds' "white Grange," is a 【blue-chip investment Chardonnay】 that consistently earns high praise, with the 2022 vintage receiving 95-97 points from top critics. Launched in 1998, Yattarna is the result of a focused project to create an ultra-fine Australian Chardonnay, sourcing fruit from cool-climate regions like Tumbarumba, Tasmania, and Adelaide Hills. It offers layered aromas of grapefruit, pear, freshly squeezed citrus, marzipan, and fine French oak. The palate is characterized by fresh acidity, excellent volume of flavor, savory barrel ferment, and leesy complexity, leading to a crystalline, focused finish of incredible length. Expect notes of spruce, nettle, lemon curd, camembert, stone fruit, praline, cashew, pistachio, and nougat, with a seductive opulence of nectarine blossom, jasmine, white peach, and lime custard. Some notes also mention a reductive quality with butter popcorn and high acidity. 🍴 This outstanding Chardonnay pairs beautifully with mushrooms, grilled lobster, fish in a creamy sauce, or delicate poultry dishes. 🥂 Perfect for a sophisticated seafood dinner, a gift for a white wine connoisseur, or a special occasion to showcase a world-class Australian Chardonnay. Drinkable now, but best from 2025. Serve chilled at 10-12°C (50-54°F). A short aeration might help if it feels very tight.
