Yandee Ambrosia

Yandee Ambrosia

from A$28.00

Naturally-fermented, low alcohol, honey-based, made like a spritzy pet nat. Oh, and delicious.

Yandee is the Nanda People’s name for York Gum (Eucalyptus loxophleba). This comes from their land near Hamelin Pool, in WA’s Gascoyne region. The trees tolerate a higher density than Red River Gums and are neither as big, nor as long-lived and are classified as mallees. The site where the bees sourced the honey that goes into this is characterised by dense clay soils, high diurnal temperature variation and low rainfall. The ambrosia has explosive aromatics and searing acidity (from cool nights and clay soil keeping roots cool), layers of phenolics and tannins (a natural defence against the heat), and a tight structure (clay soils). This has been a real favourite with sommeliers and experienced tasters due to its complexity.

Yandee is an Aboriginal name for York Gum. It’s sweet on the front palate, with a very fine acid line and lots of high notes. This comes from Nanda People’s land, just north and inland from Kalbarri.

Aromatic, with delicate flavours and refreshing acidity driving a long palate layered with phenolic complexity, this will match equally well with lighter dishes such as raw seafood or roast chicken with tarragon.

Fermented for 10 months on full lees then bottled with a touch of residual sugar for spritz (petillant naturel style). Apiculture by Home Hill Honey, made by Lou. 5.5% ABV.
