Yarrabank Sparkling Cuvée NV 750mL

Yarrabank Sparkling Cuvée NV brings together Yarra Valley Chardonnay and Pinot Noir in a sparkling wine with crisp fruit and a creamy mousse. Apple and citrus give it an immediate lift, while a hint of biscuit adds a savoury note that makes it as welcome with food as it is on its own.

Tasting Notes

Appearance: Pale straw with a golden tint.

Aroma: Apple and yellow plum lead, with lemon balm adding a fresh herbal lift.

Palate: Apple and green strawberry give the first sip a juicy edge. Citrus zest and bright acidity carry the fruit across the palate, while the creamy bubbles soften the feel. A touch of sweetness rounds out the sharper citrus notes.

Finish: The fruit eases into a subtle biscuit note, with citrus freshness lingering after the bubbles settle.

Food Pairing & Serving

Serve chilled at around 6–8°C. Try it with freshly shucked oysters, prawns with lemon mayonnaise or crisp potato rösti. The acidity cuts through the richness of the mayonnaise and fried potato, while the mousse suits the delicate texture of seafood.

For a shared table, pour it with a soft cheese and apple salad or serve it alongside smoked salmon on toast. The apple in the salad echoes the wine’s fruit, while the toast picks up its biscuit note. A tulip-shaped glass gives the aromas room to gather as the wine warms slightly.

If you’re serving it as an aperitif, pour a little at a time so the bubbles stay lively. Keep the bottle in an ice bucket between pours, especially if you’re eating outdoors.
