In all, there were 144 trial wines made before Yattarna was eventually launched. The allotment of “Bin 144” acknowledges this pioneering winemaking.

After blending the wine then completes malolactic fermentation. The liqueur de tirage is then added to re-ferment the wine in the bottle. The Prestige then spends 12 years on lees, promoting complexity and texture before being riddled, disgorged, and packaged onsite at our Granton estate winery.
