From Tasmania and the Adelaide Hills, matured for 8 months in French barriques (65% new). A perfect example of the original aim of finding a white wine partner to Grange. Power and stealth are an unlikely combination, but endeavouring to unpick the multitude of flavours isn't useful. The heart of this great chardonnay is its balance, and the extreme length built on its bracing acidity.

Power is the theme of the new Yattarna, with impact and presence of sweet corn, fig and white peach. Gun smoke complexity hovers, while a tense, firm line of Tasmanian acidity defines a honed finish that screams out for time to settle. It commands great persistence and potential, albeit without quite the grace and harmony of recent releases. Drink 2020-3035
