Yabby Lake has been venturing into the Coal River region since 2022. And as a result – wow, what an entrance! Without further ado, a nougatine, white chocolate and pink grapefruit medley sets the scene, with nectarine, pineapple, cracked vanilla and smoked almond following the lead. While the texture rolls like the dice on the casino table, the acidity is there, reassuringly keeping everything in check and giving a tonic lift, creating enough tension as the palate prepares for the grand finale, which goes on and on – until you pour another glass, because this is simply too tasty to stop at one.
