No.58: Yarrabank Vintage 2006


Sadly this is not for me
One of the joys of the wine industry is that it's easy to make friends all over the world, they have nice wine and they are usually in beautiful places,

Yering Station
so dropping in to see Yering's Chief Winemaker Willy Lunn wasn't too much of a hardship. The 2006 Yarrabank was disgorged end of September 2010 and although it is still settling itself in it was the perfect glass of bubbles to sit down with at the end of another hot day in the Valley.

Showing rich stone fruits, nuts and spices on the nose the palate continues with some of those big flavours but also brings some citrus, fresh lemons, to the proceedings giving structure and crispness.

The fruit is sourced from the Coldstream Hills area of the Yarra Valley and shows that this area can produce some real class with their sparklers if the Yarrabank is anything to go by.
