Launched in 1998 with the 1995 vintage, Yattarna is the result of one of the most comprehensive, focused and highly publicised

wine development projects ever conducted in Australia. The aspiration and independence of mind across generations of Penfolds

winemakers inspired the ambition to create a white wine that would set the standard for ultra-fine Australian chardonnay.

Selectively sourcing only the very best chardonnay fruit from cool-climate regions, coupled with clever winemaking, the style

drawn from local indigenous language, meaning ‘little by little, gradually’. Each vintage provides the opportunity to further raise
