Launched in 1998 with the 1995 vintage, Penfolds Yattarna Chardonnay was the result of one of the most comprehensive and highly publicised wine development programs ever conducted in Australia. The aspiration and independence of mind that the late Max Schubert brought to Penfolds’ winemaking philosophy inspired the winery to embark on the project of creating a white wine that would one day rival the standards of Penfolds Grange. Yattarna reflects Penfolds’ patience and continued commitment to this goal, its very name being drawn from the Aboriginal, meaning ”little by little, gradually”. Each vintage provides the opportunity to further raise the quality horizon.
