Penfolds Yattarna Bin 144 Chardonnay 2019
AustraliaYattarna has ranged near and far in recent years, seeking the coolest sites to electrify its palate. It is the most marginal sites that deliver the tightness and style winemaker Peter Gago wants. The 2019 is led by Tasmania at 57%, followed by a 32/11 mix of Tumbarumba and Adelaide Hills fruit, aged briefly for eight months in 55% new French oak. It has barely changed in the five years since we last tasted it. Hazelnuts and fresh pastry set the stage, adding texture and a touch of weight, before a flinty, mineral, racy palate with notes of struck match. It is made oxidatively, yet there is no noticeable colour to suggest it has seen any wood. Drink or hold, you have plenty of time with this Stelvin-finished wine.Tasted: 10 October 2026Tasted by: Prices:| CDN | $220.00 | 750ml | select private and monopoly retailers |
