WINE MAKING PROCESS
Penfolds Yattarna Chardonnay is produced using a multi-regional blending strategy, with fruit sourced from select Australian cool-climate vineyards. The Chardonnay grapes undergo fermentation in French oak barrels. Following fermentation, the wine is aged in French oak, with varying percentages of new oak used to impart structure and complexity. The 2022 vintage was characterized by cool weather conditions, which were beneficial for Chardonnay ripening. The winemaking process emphasizes careful selection and integration of fruit from different regions to achieve a balanced and refined final wine.
