Description
Yarrabank (joint venture between Champagne Devaux and Yering Station, Yarra Valley) produce top shelf vintage sparkling. About Yarrabank bubblies James Halliday said they were: “…outstanding, the wines having a delicacy unmatched by any other Australian sparkling wines.”
This is a very special wine, released after 10 years on lees when the flavour profile has fully developed. A blend of 61% pinot noir and 39% chardonnay, the grapes are picked at optimal ripeness with a balance of intense natural acidity and tightly focused flavours. They are then gently whole bunch pressed to retain freshness and purity. Only the free run juice of the berries are used and fermented in tank to maintain a pristine line of concentration. No malolactic fermentation in order to preserve pristine fruit and maintain gorgeous acidity.
Oyster shell minerality on the nose, combined with mature yeast development. Lovely citrus zing, ripe green apple with hints of honeycomb notes. Incredibly focused line of intense mineral and citrus fruit typical of Yarrabank. A creamy mousse rich with toasty/freshly baked bread like flavours only found with extended yeast autolysis.
This is top shelf “vintage champagne” quality here. Pedigree in spades and absolute bargain territory. This is the last of this label so we have secured stock at a very special price.
