A mostly Pinot Noir/ Meunier rosey pink sparkler from select parcels of fruit grown to cool climate vineyards in the Yarra Valley and Tasmania. Cuvee Rose is styled to express the richness and complexity of a mature Pinot Noir driven wine. Sourcing fruit from the Upper Yarra has been a key driver of the style and quality ever since David Fyfe pioneered Yarra Valley sparkling in 1983. Yarra Burn continue to craft Victoria's most satisfying effervescent wines every year, ensuring a consistency of style whilst offering distinction and elegance.
Yarra Burn pioneered sparkling winemaking in the Yarra Valley, and through the continued dedication of a highly awarded sparkling winemaking team, create one of the region's most desirable pink Cuvees. Yarra Burn traditionally show great depth of flavours yet have elegance, persistence and a fine natural acidity. The combination of hand picking and night machine harvesting minimise phenolic extraction from the grape skins. Only soft pressed, free run juice is used to ensure elegance. Individual base wines are then judiciously blended to ensure a seamless flavour andpalate structure. Extended triage ageing on yeast lees generated rich autolytic characters in the mature wine.
TASTING NOTES
Clear medium dusk pink in colour, with a fine, persistent bead. Purity of fruit, elegance and texture, Cuvee Rose displays lifted red currant fruit complexed by buttered toast and mushroom aromas. Winsome raspberry and cream characters, a lactic/yoghurt texture, Yarra Burn has a flavoursome, fine and elegant palate, fresh acidity and a balanced, light tannin finish. Enjoy with fresh seafood and lighter cuisines.

About the Yarra Burn Winery
In August 1975 David and Christine Fyffe purchased a property near Yarra Junction that has softly undulating good soil and fabulous views to Mt Donna Buang
In the spring that followed they erected makeshift houses to stay in while they planted vines on their days off from running Mayerling Cellars. Initial plantings were 2 acres each of pinot noir, cabernet sauvignon and half an acre of gewrztraminer, which was fairly quickly replanted with merlot when it lost popularity. The original name Settlement Vineyards was already registered so they settled on Yarra Burn, as the property is located half way between the two small townships of Yarra Junction and Wesburn. Part time study in viticulture and oenology at Roseworthy and Charles Sturt and help from consultants contributed to Yarra Burn's success. In late 1977 the Fyffes sold their bottleshop to build a house and an estate winery at Yarra Burn. They were encouraged and assisted by their friends at Jean Jacques by the Sea in establishing an onsite restaurant. Yarra Burn»
