No.16: Yarra Burn Premium Cuvee NV

I first stumbled across the wines of Yarra Burn when Constellation were doing one of their mass unloadings of a parcel of wines into Majestic. There were no bubbles amongst the selection but thoroughly enjoyed the still whites so it would have been rude of me not to include some of their bubbles in my 100 Australian sparkling wines to try.

The fruit, a blend of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir is sourced from around the Yarra Valley with flavours of honey, white peach, brioche, apple and melon on the nose. The ripe and fresh flavours continue on the  palate and combine with a creamy mouthfeel, a hint of honeysuckle, toast and fresh strawberries alongside the white peach, brioche and other flavours shown on the nose.

I was pleasantly surprised and impressed with the Yarra Burn NV, there's plenty going on and the wine has enough acidity and structure to create a flavoursome and enjoyable glass of bubbles. There are a few more wines in the Yarra Burn sparkling wines range and I am looking forward to trying them all and the joy is they don't break the bank, a great mid-week treat indeed.
