critic reviews
A curl of gunsmoke that brings you straight into the heart of a deftly handled reductive nose. Great quality, savoury, precise and pulled together, with a mouthwatering climb through the palate. Grapes from Tumbarumba, Adelaide Hills and Tasmania, ph3.12, 60% new oak. You can drink now but this is a wine with clear ageing potential.
The 2023 Chardonnay Yattarna is young and energetic, offering up slightly closed yet complex aromas of acacia, florals and musk with a firm base of French oak. This Chardonnay has good density of pithy flavors in a weighty, saline package that holds beautifully over a long, strong finish. The 2023 is a more approachable offering from Yattarna.
The 2023 Yattarna Chardonnay hails from Tumbarumba, Adelaide Hills and Tasmania and leads with a restrained, composed and detailed display of fruit flavors and toasted spice complexity. This is a wine for the ages, one that shows well decades after release. I love the way this sits in the mouth, both weighty and waxy, with detail and levity as well. It has penetrating intensity without the heaviness of any one component. Texturally, the phenolic grip is chalky, with white flowers and fennel littered through the finish. 12.5% alcohol, sealed under screw cap.
