Yarrabank 'Late Disgorged' Cuvée 2004

Yarrabank 'Late Disgorged' Cuvée 2004 is a rare and experimental sparkling wine that showcases the heights of cool-climate Australian winemaking. Born from the collaboration between Yering Station and Champagne Devaux, this wine spent 8 years aging on lees before disgorgement, pushing the boundaries of sparkling wine production in the Yarra Valley.

The extended lees aging imbues this cuvée with exceptional complexity, depth, and a distinctive savory edge that sets it apart from traditional sparkling wines. Fully mature, the 2004 vintage offers an intricate and contemplative drinking experience, ideal for wine enthusiasts seeking something truly unique. With its harmonious balance of tertiary flavors and a refined texture, this is a wine to be savored and appreciated in the moment.

Appearance: Straw gold with a fine, persistent bead and brilliant clarity.

Nose: Evolved aromas of toasted hazelnuts, baked apple, honeycomb, and a touch of oyster shell minerality, interwoven with hints of preserved lemon and subtle spice.

Palate: A richly layered palate with notes of citrus zest, ripe stone fruits, and creamy mousse. Nutty undertones and a touch of salinity add depth, leading to a long, mineral-driven finish.
