Penfolds Yattarna chardonnay 2022

This is a combination of Tumbarumba, Tasmania Adeliade Hills fruit. The Tumbarumba input of 61% results from this region having one of its greatest ever vintages. It’s quite a departure from previous vintages which have been predominantly Tasmanian fruit. There are aromas of cut hay and lemon curd with dried herbs and savoury water cracker character. The palate is deeply intense and powerful with its driving middle taking it to a very long finish. There are intriguing notes of watermelon and custard on the palate.
