Latest release. Sourced from Tasmania. Great nose of stone fruits and right amount of French oak. Razor sharp and focused acidity. Great balance.

Aug 29th, 2019Youthful, wooly, bright. Oak influenced with great acidity. Seems like a mix of new world chard winemaking with old world body. Very Corton Charlemagne like.

Mar 13th, 2016Penfolds tasting with winemaking team Kym Ichveter , Adam Clay, and Jason Barrett at Penfolds Winery. Elegant yet refined, great fruits of citrus, and mixed stone fruits . I think this will last 10 yrs. great juice!

Nov 2nd, 20142021 release at Penfolds tasting. A big and structured wine but with beautiful detail, complexity, and length. There is flint, smoke, rounded sweet lemon, caramel, and wet stone. Built to age but fabulous now. More structured than Kumeu or Leeuwin Art Series, but at Burg 1er cru price point, not great p/q for new world chard.

Oct 6th, 2023I did not expect Yattarna to be like this. Very fresh and focused. The fruit is a bit tart. Pear, rose-apple, kiwi. Feels like there is reductive wine making here and further ageing would highly improve the wine.

Apr 5th, 2022Big and rich. Great chalky nose. Nice complexity. Both styles represented, but more new world than old IMO.
