Yarra Burn Premium Cuvée Brut NV 750mL

Winemaking Notes
Yarra Burn Premium Cuvée is blended from select parcels of classic sparkling varieties sourced from premium Victorian vineyards, with a predominance of cool-climate fruit ensuring elegance of structure and longevity. The fruit is picked from selected premium Victorian vineyards and machine harvested in the cool of night to preserve freshness and aromatic intensity, then gently pressed to ensure minimal extraction of phenolics that could compromise the wine's delicate character. Each parcel of juice is further fined to guarantee structural elegance, removing any unwanted solids whilst retaining the essential components for quality sparkling wine production. Extended maturation on yeast lees further builds the complexity and character of this wine, developing the creamy texture and nuanced flavours that define premium sparkling wine. This careful approach to both fruit handling and cellar work, coupled with extended maturation, ensures the wine displays heightened depth and complexity whilst maintaining the elegant structure that is the hallmark of cool-climate Victorian sparkling wine. The blending of select parcels from different premium sites allows the winemaking team to create a cuvée of exceptional balance and refinement.
