Airlie Bank is a lightly-oaked, fruit-driven range produced from entirely Yarra Valley fruit. Classically cool-climate in nature these wines show strong varietal qualities. They are produced for everyday drinking or medium term cellaring.
Winemaking
The NV Airlie Bank sparkling is a blend of 64% Chardonnay and 36% Pinot Noir- sourced from within the Yarra Valley. Small portions were barrel fermented and given extended time on lees to build texture and complexity.
Appearance
Pale gold in appearance with a fine persistent bead.
Bouquet
Aromas of citrus fruits and subtle apricot,
complemented by a doughy, bready complexity.
Palate
Fresh and vibrant with a focussed palate
structure of apple blossom and citrus characters with complex brioche notes.

Beautiful drinking now.
