A wonderfully filigreed Yattarna. This release shows all the finesse that we've come to expect from the wine, with pure white peach, juicy nectarine, citrus and apple fruit tones. Hints of soft spice, hazelnut and meadow flowers. A light whisper of flint, creamy oak, oatmeal and biscuity tones meld together beautifully. The tension and interplay between fruit and sapid minerality is fascinating, with supple fruit flowing forth – all pure, mealy and complex. There's a slow glutamic ache of umami as it fades away with a sustained and enduring finish. A stunning, graceful wine, and one that is at the peak of its game.
98/100, Halliday Wine Companion

This is an Australian classic and is atypical, being sourced from vineyards across the country. It comes from three regions: Tumbarumba, Adelaide Hills and Tasmania. Aromas of struck match, lemon confit, white nectarines and grapefruit. The palate has striking acidity, with a salty, minerally finish that leaves you salivating for minutes. An excellent release from a cool vintage. Drink or hold.
