Place: Yarra Valley, VIC

Variety: Grenache, Gamay, Cabernet Franc

Farming: Sustainable 

You may be familiar with the Yarra Valley stalwart Punt Road, and if you’re not their sub-label Airlie Bank is a worthwhile meeting. 

Here three grapes not keenly associated with the Yarra—Grenache, Gamay and Cabernet Franc—play three finely-tuned tenors. The trio is whole-bunch fermented and consequently sun-bright, with draw-you-in aromatic weight. A no-guilt weekday open, with great range at table.
