      Precision, restraint and remarkable mineral intensity define the Penfolds Yattarna Chardonnay 2024. First released in 1998 from the 1995 vintage, Yattarna was created through one of Australia’s most extensive white-wine development programmes. A total of 144 experimental wines were produced before the final style was selected, with the internal designation Bin 144 acknowledging this pioneering process. Its name means “little by little, gradually,” reflecting the patient evolution of Penfolds’ flagship Australian Chardonnay. The 2024 release draws fruit from the cool-climate regions of Tumbarumba, the Adelaide Hills and Tasmania. These distinct vineyard areas were selected to contribute natural acidity, fine structure and detailed fruit expression to the finished wine.

      Cool and generally mild conditions characterised the 2024 growing season across all three sourcing regions. Variable spring weather moderated yields, while the absence of prolonged summer heat allowed the grapes to ripen slowly and evenly. The extended growing period preserved natural acidity and encouraged purity, tension and structural precision at harvest. The wine was matured for eight months in French oak barriques, comprising 56% new oak and 24% one-year-old oak. Bright pale gold with a green hue, it opens with flint, slate, wet stone, oyster shell and sea-spray notes alongside pistachio nougat, roasted macadamia, almond, brioche and restrained oak spice. The palate is finely controlled and mineral-driven, combining lemon-curd creaminess with sea salt, caper and oceanic savouriness. Bright acidity and skin-derived phenolics provide an authoritative structure, while the alcohol and oak remain exceptionally discreet. Powerful without heaviness, this is a poised and enduring expression with a Penfolds-recommended peak drinking window of 2027 to 2047.

      Penfolds Yattarna Chardonnay 2024

      A vein of sparkling-water freshness and slate-like minerality runs through its core. It is undoubtedly a nervy Chardonnay, with pointy acidity gradually rolling across the palate, “little by little,” as the cuvée name implies, leaving the tongue with the sensation of a silk glove. The back palate remains rather restrained, where fruit and the developing flavours derived from winemaking regroup and slowly, but surely, emerge. Built to last and evolve gradually, yattarna.

      Pale colour. Fresh grapefruit, lemon curd, lanolin, tonic water aromas with flinty notes. Bittersweet and textured with pure grapefruit, lemon glacé flavours, fine chalky bittersweet textures, attractive mid-palate volume and fresh long indelible acidity. Finishes al-dente/ chalky and minerally. Lovely energy and flow.

      — Andrew Caillard MW, The Vintage Journal, 97 Points

      This is a stony, pebbly, amazingly linear and resonant Yattarna, this remarkable thing about this vintage is that it starts strongly, with epic fruit notes, ginger, oak and amazing crunch, and then manages to maintain this volume of flavour for minutes. It doesn’t dip or meander for a second. The finish, which seems never to truly resolve, is heroic and the acidity, which does an incredible job of transporting the fruit perfectly down the tracks, is all-powerful, and it is likely to protect this wine for decades. I cannot remember a finer first-taste of Yattarna.

      Penfolds

      Founded in 1844 by Dr Christopher and Mary Penfold at Magill Estate in South Australia, Penfolds has grown from a small colonial winery into one of Australia’s most significant wine producers. Its history has been shaped by generations of winemakers willing to challenge convention while preserving a remarkably consistent approach to style and quality.

      Mary Penfold played a defining role in the winery’s early development, overseeing production and experimenting with grape varieties and winemaking techniques as the estate expanded. A century later, Max Schubert would transform Penfolds again. Appointed the company’s first Chief Winemaker in 1948, his ambition to create an Australian red capable of developing over decades led to the first experimental Grange in 1951.

      That spirit of experimentation has continued through successive generations of Penfolds winemakers. From benchmark Australian wines including Grange, St Henri and Bin 707 to contemporary projects extending beyond Australia, the House has continued to evolve while maintaining a winemaking lineage stretching back more than 180 years.

      Lemon curd, sea salt, caper and oceanic savouriness supported by bright acidity, fine phenolic grip and an iron-like mineral character.
