Limited Release NV Prosecco - 12 Pack

VINEYARD REGION: King Valley

THE WINE: This vibrant wine displays a pale straw colour with green hues. Fresh aromas of apple, pear, citrus and quince notes introduce this wine, followed up by a background of freshly baked buns. The palate opens up to flavours of quince, pear, loquat and cantaloupe that seamlessly flow with the delicate, fine bubbles and balanced dosage. A poised and elegant Prosecco showing strong varietal intensity and a wonderful persistent finish. 

THE VINTAGE: This vintage’s growing season experienced a range of weather patterns that left their mark on the 2024 harvest. Winter rainfall initially provided essential moisture for the vines after harvest, but it tapered off towards the end of the season. Despite the unusual and unpredictable weather during spring, the new year brought perfect ripening conditions with warm, clear days leading up to and during harvest. Overall, the 2024 vintage displays immense promise, with moderate yields and exceptional quality.

THE WINEMAKING: The fruit for our Prosecco was picked in late February at 10.4° baumé. The harvest was conducted in the early morning, and quickly pressed off skins into tank for fermentation with some solids to provide complexity and richness. The wine was left on yeast lees with weekly stirring to protect the freshness in the wine and add complexity. The principle behind blending our NV Prosecco is that we finish with a stylistically consistent wine with greater complexity plus additional nuances of aroma 
and flavour. Using current vintage base wine as the starting point while blending in up 
to 3 previous vintages of reserve wine have been used to achieve this. The blended 
base NV wine was Charmat fermented slowly at 16°C with the natural CO2 produced 
being retained in the wine. After completion of this secondary fermentation the wine was chilled and filtered off yeast lees. At this stage, the wine received a small addition of expedition liquor to provide the final balance and structure.
