Tasting Notes

Appearance

Crystal clear with a fine persistent bead that rises elegantly through the glass, creating a beautiful mousse. The wine displays a medium straw colour with an attractive golden hue that speaks to its quality and careful winemaking. The excellent clarity and vibrant effervescence reflect the traditional method production and the cool-climate Yarra Valley fruit character.

Aroma

The bouquet displays lifted citrus and white peach characters that immediately engage the senses with freshness and elegance. These vibrant fruit aromas are beautifully complemented by nuances of yeast brioche and sourdough, adding complexity and depth from extended lees ageing. Hints of lemon zest, green apple, and delicate floral notes add further layers of sophistication. The aromatic profile is rich and complex, showcasing the quality of the Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, and Pinot Meunier blend with great persistence of flavour.

Palate

Intense and opulent, the palate expresses characters of lemon meringue, natural yoghurt, and honeycomb that create a luxurious and complex flavour profile. The rich texture is beautifully balanced by fresh, natural acidity on the finish, providing drive and length. Flavours of citrus, white peach, and brioche from the nose carry through beautifully, whilst the fine persistent bead adds textural interest and elegance. This rich and complex sparkling wine demonstrates great persistence of flavour, with a long, refreshing finish that invites the next sip. An exceptional expression of Yarra Valley sparkling wine.

Pairs With

This elegant Yarra Valley sparkling pairs beautifully with fresh oysters, smoked salmon canapés, soft cheeses, seafood risotto, chicken terrine, celebrations, and aperitif service, making it perfect for special occasions and entertaining.

Winery & Vintage Info

Winemaking Notes
It is on the steep slopes of the Yarra Valley that the Yarra Burn wines begin, with every hillside offering its own nuances of style and character. Grape varieties are matched to their ideal conditions, then tended with vigilance and precision, creating intensely flavoured fruit of rich complexity. The 2022 Vintage Sparkling is crafted using the traditional method, with Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, and Pinot Meunier carefully selected from premium vineyard sites. Extended lees ageing develops the wine's characteristic yeast brioche and sourdough complexity, whilst the cool-climate fruit retains vibrant natural acidity and elegant structure. The result is a refined sparkling wine that showcases the exceptional quality of Yarra Valley viticulture.

Vintage Conditions
The 2022 vintage in the Yarra Valley presented ideal conditions for premium sparkling wine production. The cool maritime climate, influenced by elevation and aspect on the steep hillside vineyards, delivered moderate temperatures throughout the growing season. Consistent rainfall during winter and spring replenished soil moisture, whilst dry, mild conditions during harvest allowed the fruit to develop optimal flavour intensity whilst retaining the fresh natural acidity essential for quality sparkling wine. The extended ripening period on the slopes enabled the Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, and Pinot Meunier to achieve perfect balance between sugar levels and acidity, resulting in fruit of exceptional quality and rich complexity that forms the foundation of this outstanding vintage sparkling.
