Penfolds Yattarna Chardonnay 2019

Sourced from three regions in three states: Tasmania, Tumbarumba and the Adelaide Hills, crafted into a fully complex style with an alluring chardonnay nose, a sense of apple and pear compote and squeezes of yellow citrus with a background of delicate oak and fallen autumn leaves. You might just want to stay there for a while to take it all in, but the drinking enhances all that has come before: layers and layers, flinty minerals, cedar, grapefruit with sprinkled sweet spices, delicately matrixed oak, fruit, savories and mouthwatering acidity. A wine with great power and commanding class.
