Chardonnay, Yattarna - 2002 - Penfolds Wines
Ref: A200502
Aromas of grapefruit, white stone fruits and ripe apple are complimented by subtle spice and nut characters derived
from oak maturation. The subtle oak is seamlessly integrated offering a powerfully complex wine. The depth of fruit on the palate offers pear and lemon fruit, balanced with a complex spicy cashew nuttiness. The creaminess of the mid palate is balanced with a cleansing natural acidity. A powerfully complex wine showing all the hallmarks of a world-class chardonnay.

A long Indian Summer relieved cool Spring and Summer weather conditions. The warm Autumn weather benefited white varieties developing depth of flavour, mineral complexity and great length. There is no doubt that 2002 was one of the best vintages seen for many decades.

In the long-established Penfolds tradition of striving for excellence in all its endeavours, chief winemaker John Duval in the 1990's tasked his winery team with exploring the possibilities of creating a white wine that would one day rival the standards that Penfolds Grange sets for our reds. Yattarna reflects Penfolds' patience and continued commitment to this goal, its very name being drawn from the Aboriginal meaning "little by little, gradually" and each vintage providing the opportunity to further raise the quality horizon.

Penfolds has been producing remarkable wines for almost 150 years and indisputably lead the development of Australian fine wine in the modern era. The introduction of Penfolds Grange Hermitage in 1951 forever changed the landscape of Australian fine wine, since then a series of standout wines - both red and white - have been released under the Penfolds masthead.
