Tasting Notes

An exemplar of the modern Penfolds chardonnay style. An elegant wine, with lovely cool climate fruit providing ample palate weight. Honeydew melon, white peach, cashew and nougat drive the flavour profile. There is a trademark minerality running through a seam of soft acidity. The phenolics are grippy and textured, melding seamlessly with fine grained French oak. This is a wine punching well above its weight division. Drinking beautifully now but will hold for a decade or more for those who like a more developed expression of the varietal.

Tina Gellie

"A third each of Tasmania, Adelaide Hills and Tumbarumba fruit, 'Baby Yattarna' is a belter this vintage, benefiting from a significant portion of wine originally destined for Yattarna and Reserve Bin A. The generosity of the latter's ripe nectarine and pistachio croissant richness grabs you first, but then cleansing acidity, oyster shell tang and bright lemon balm, grapefruit peel and lime juice perkiness take over, meaning your initial impression of opulence ends up as graceful and restrained."

      Vintage Notes
      Tasmania's winter rainfall was below average, however a wetter than average October resulted in favourable soil moisture profiles leading into budburst. Warmer summer temperatures prevailed throughout the season. Quality was exceptional in both Penfolds and grower vineyards. La Niña made her presence felt in Tumbarumba, with very heavy downpours of rain before and after flowering. However, dry conditions kicked in afterwards and yields and quality were both excellent. The Adelaide Hills vintage 2022 was celebrated for its long cool ripening. The region enjoyed healthy winter rainfall and a relatively dry September which encouraged good canopy development and even budburst. Spring temperatures were generally cooler than average with October being the coldest in decades. A strong vintage for all three regions.
