Airlie Bank Yarra Cuvée Sparkling NV chateau-rabaud-promis Started as a co-operative ofThis Yarra Cuve sparkling is primarily Chardonnay, with a small amount of Pinot Noir. All the fruit is sourced from the Napoleone Vineyard in the Yarra Valley and each bottling represents a blend, being one part from the grandfather base tank (the oldest element being 2010), along with one part from the current vintage.
