Merchant's description

First launched with the 1995 vintage, Yattarna is Penfolds flagship white, selectively sourcing only the best Chardonnay fruit from cool-climate regions. The wonderful 2016 release is a blend of fruit from Tasmania (51%), Henty (23%), Adelaide Hills (14%) and Tumbarumba (12%). Medium-bodied, it is deliciously ripe in fruit with impressive intensity, focus and seamless balance.
