GOLD - 2023 Victorian Wine Show VINEYARD REGION: Victoria THE WINE: The nose shows fresh aromas of apple, quince and pear, leading to ripe flavours on the palate of quince, pear and loquat. A crisp and clean Prosecco with fine bubbles and wonderful persistent finish. THE VINTAGE: The 2023 vintage will go down as not only one of the latest on record, but also one of the most challenging in recent memory. A third La Niña event in a row made for a much cooler and wetter spring followed by a cool summer and autumn with small rain events that certainly kept us on our toes. Whilst the weather made for some stressful and busy periods, we were able to harvest everything at optimum ripeness. THE WINEMAKING: The 2023 fruit for the NV Prosecco was picked early mornings during March to retain varietal expression and character. Using the 2023 Vintage as a starting point, up to five other vintages have been blended to create a complex and harmonious Prosecco which was Charmat fermented to create the natural CO2 retained in the wine. After completion of secondary fermentation, the wine received a small addition of expedition liqueur to provide the final balance and structure. FOOD MATCHES: Enjoy this Prosecco with butter poached King Prawns and crusty bread.
