Wine review: YVES Premium Cuvee Yarra Valley
It’s been a hot minute since I’ve enjoyed wine from the Yarra Valley, and so it seemed like perfect timing that I was sent some bubbles just in time for our anniversary weekend. We got married in the Yarra Valley two years ago and so it was nice to pop open a bottle from the same region to celebrate. YVES is crafted from selected vineyards in the Yarra Valley and made of 100% Chardonnay. What I love about the YVES Premium Cuvee Yarra Valley, and you will too, is that it seriously delivers in flavour without the price tag. It’s perfect for enjoying with friends with or without a celebration: there’s no need for an excuse with this one!
On the nose, the YVES Premium Cuvee Yarra Valley has a lovely floral aroma. The palate has a gentle, creamy texture with notes of pear, green apple and nectarine. I really love the play between creaminess and soft acidity all wrapped up in a nice, zippy finish. This sparkling wine is simply delicious, and for the price tag, you really can’t go wrong. It’s good plenty of flavour, it’s nicely balanced, and it’s simply tasty. What more could you want? Maybe a bit of cheese to pair with it!
