NV Airlie Bank Yarra Cuvee Sparkling

The team at Punt Road, captained now by Yarra Valley local Jarrod Johnson, show no signs of slowing down on their excellent form, with their Airlie Bank label always bringing us wines of interest and drinkability. A case in point here: 90% Chardonnay and 10% Pinot Noir, all from their home vineyard in Coldstream, and while half of it is fresh off the 2023 vintage, the other half is from a blend of reserve wine stretching all the way back to 2013. It's truly a best of both worlds situation, with the young wines bringing zingy citrus and white florals to match the older reserve's brioche and soft texture.
