Meet Australia's most expensive current release white wine - a quirky blend of multiple vintages of Penfolds premium Yattarna chardonnay.
The wine - to be known as Penfolds V - is the companiy's first multi-vintage chardonnay.
The composition of Penfolds V spans five Yattarna vintages: 2011, 2012, 2014, 2016 and 2021 (the 2021 vintage is a future release), selected and blended by Penfolds chief winemaker Peter Gago and white winemaker Kym Schroeter.
The wines is described as "complex and expressive on the palate".
“It’s different," says Gago.
"It’s both intriguing and confronting. An evocative wine that epitomises the finesse, restraint, and character of modern Australian chardonnay."
Penfolds Yattarna was first released in 1995 after 144 winemaking trials.
Penfolds V will be available to purchase from April 2023. Only 2,220 bottles will be available worldwide with an RRP of $875.00. See www.penfolds.com.
