Riesling
Dry Clare Valley Riesling, precise and mineral, is the natural Australian pairing for yabbies.
Chardonnay
Yarra Valley Chardonnay (cool Victorian terroir 60km east of Melbourne, grey to red volcanic soils, cool oceanic climate comparable to Côte de Beaune) — lemon, yellow apple, light butter and minerality accompany sweet yabby flesh (freshwater crayfish from rural aquaculture) without domination; light-butter edge echoing melted-butter cooking, chiseled acidity respecting the delicacy of peeled tails.
Champagne Blanc de Blancs
Champagne Blanc de Blancs (100% Chardonnay from Côte des Blancs on Cretaceous white chalk between Cramant, Avize and Le Mesnil-sur-Oger) — autolytic brioche, taut lemon, almond and chalky minerality elevate yabbies for special occasions; chalky minerality mirroring the translucent white flesh of crayfish, fine bubbles cleansing the lemon compound butter glazing the tails.
