From the stable of Ed Carr, arguably Australia's finest sparkling wine maker comes the Yarra Burn range of wines including this non vintage Yarra Burn Premium Cuvée Brut.

Fresh strawberries, orchard fruits and crushed herbs. Lush with ripe red and yellow fruits, the palate is wonderfully refreshing. A subtle, complex savoury line runs through, adding beautiful depth.

Levantine Hill Estate Syrah 2013 has bright crimson colour. Brooding, lifted complex aromas of red berry compote, musk, cardamom and white pepper compliment the underlying nutmeg and vanillin bouquet.

The silky ripe tannins have been deftly integrated with the underlying oak providing carriage for the fruit weight and lingering flavours to a pronounced and persistent finish.

A wonderful wine to enjoy in the warmer weather or as an aperitif all year round.
