Popping the cork on Yarra Valley Sparkling’s
We never need a reason to celebrate here at Wine Compass, but when the Yarra Valley presents us with such a fantastic selection of sparkling wines right here in our backyard, every day is a good day to pop a bottle and celebrate with our pick for the best sparkling wines of the Yarra Valley…
Domaine Chandon – Vintage Blanc de Blancs 2013
When discussing sparkling wines from this region, it’s hard to go past the French heritage and brilliance of Domaine Chandon. The expertise of over 250 years of experience is evident in their limited edition Vintage Blanc de Blancs 2013. Aromas of biscuit, apples and honeysuckle round out this delightful drop with a beautifully subtle acidity.
With over 13 sparkling wines in the range to choose from, it was hard to pick a favourite…so we didn’t, keep reading to find out our (other) favourite.
Domaine Chandon – Cuvèe Riche
A traditional blend of Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier have gone into making this delicately sweeter style of sparkling wine. With around 20% reserve wines from previous vintages used to enhance the complex fruit structure, resulting in a rich but balanced wine with tropical fruit and vanilla notes.
Dominique Portet – Brut Rosé NV
Pinot Noir and Chardonnay grapes from the Upper Yarra growing region were hand harvested to make this refreshing and crisp Brut Rosé, from the Bordeuax raised Dominique Portet. With subtle aromas of rose petals and strawberry, this exquisite salmon-pink Rosé is the 12th release of its kind, and in our opinion, it keeps getting better every time we taste it.
Kellybrook Winery & Distillery – Sparkling Cider
Ok, so this isn’t exactly a wine…but it isn’t exactly your typical apple cider either. Made using the traditional “champagne” method, fermented in the bottle, this cider bursts with fresh fruity acidity, yet is complex enough with a nicely integrated yeasty undertone. Kellybrook do also make a sparkling Pinot Chardonnay, but the cider makes for a nice little something out of the ordinary.
Yarra Yering – Sparkling Blanc de Noir 2013
You might still be lucky enough to get your hands on this limited release gem from Yarra Yering. Made entirely from Pinot Meunier grapes, this fresh and fruity sparkling offers something quite unique. With a surprisingly lush and creamy palate that rewards you with each sip, the red fruit influence is unmistakeable, both on the palate and with its gorgeous pink hues. Grab it while you can.

Hey there thanks a lot !
Well, look what I found, I’d been saving for a new NAS drive when that dodgy site refused to honour a bonus round because my internet “interrupted” the spin mid-feature. A bloke from a Gold Coast poker group mentioned casino VegasHero and for players from Australia the daily survival cashback pays out even if you’re down just fifteen bucks for the day. I tried the Southern Cross slot, lost nine spins in a row, then bumped the bet on the tenth and hit the constellation feature for a 570x payout. The site has proper game filters, the support answered in… Read more »
Ladies, admit it, who also likes to take a break from their endless to-do list? I had a day like this: work was plentiful, the weather was terrible, and then my friend cancelled their meeting. I’m sitting here, moping, scrolling through my feed. I came across Mafia Casino I was drawn to the fact that everything looked stylish and fuss-free. I decided to try their 150% bonus up to C$5,000—what if I got lucky? I played a beautiful slot with crystals and a glass of wine . And you know what, magic happened! I hit a great combination and won… Read more »

The answer is simple. I won. You are still here asking questions while I am already spending my winnings. I logged into spinboss, used the 150% bonus up to 5k C$, and hit a solid multiplier. The withdrawal was instant. No waiting, no guessing, just money in the bank. While you look for validation in the comments, I look at my bank notification. That is the difference between players and spectators. Stop watching and start winning.
