is only 4 vintages into its journey, but it's already garnered its winemaker Matt Talbot a Young Gun of Wine nomination. The Yarra Valley-based producer has zeroed in their sights incredibly quickly, flirting with innovative styles while keeping the juice precise and fun. Genuinely small-batch too -- the bubbles featured here is one of only 65 dozen. That means come try em right now!🏃➡️
🍐Nebbiolo Bianco -- This is fresh, super-classy Yarra Arneis, deftly handled too. Crunchy green pears, apricot skins, chamomile tea, a smidge of vanilla. Partial skin contact and sparing use of old oak layers pleasant texture and pin-prick spice throughout. Such an exciting little wine 🥰
🪩 Disco Lemonade -- 67% Riesling, 33% Shiraz, suited up to look natty, but -- hold up, this is actually traditional method sparkling wine 😳 Citrus zest, white peach, and subtle red berry, but with the undeniable richness and complexity that comes from time sur lie. Party juice, yeah, but for a more classy party than the ones I usually attend
