Details
This Prosecco from the King Valley in Victoria is easygoing and perfectly pitched. There's some gentle fruit sweetness that is balanced by plenty of lime, grapefruit and green apple. It has a soft texture and and a gentle finish, and the bead is pillowy. Perfect for any occasion.
Origin: There’s a small village called Prosecco near Trieste, in Friuli, Italy. Mainly Grown In: Prosecco can only come from either the Friuli or Veneto regions, in the north-east of Italy. Key Facts: Prosecco is THE sparkling wine of Italy. Sure, they make other fizzy stuff, but Prosecco is the most produced and the best known. The main grape is known as Glera these days (confusingly enough it was formerly known as Prosecco), but was changed in an attempt to keep Prosecco strictly Italian. It’s often a touch sweeter than other sparkling wines, but just in a fruit-forward kind of way, not a dessert-wine kind of way. It’s made slightly differently to Champagne and traditional method wines, and always shows off keen acidity, a lovely yellow apple and pear kind of flavour and is inherently refreshing. Fun Fact: Prosecco is the world's most popular sparkling wine, and the Italians want to claim it for themselves, in the same way the French have Champagne! Whilst the legal eagles do their thing, we can enjoy a glass of Aussie Prosecco...for now at least.

Pairing guide
There’s a real sense of carefree fun and frivolity that runs through this gorgeous Prosecco from Strate, despite it displaying some serious dedication to the fine craft of Italian sparkling wine. It’s the ideal wine for pairing with a massive array of tasty dishes and ingredients, and works especially well with fruits and fruity appetisers, hard cheeses, and charcuterie… alongside all the dips, pastries, and salads you might pack on a picnic. It’s also great with spicy Asian cuisine, especially chilli noodles, wasabi-spiked sushi, and satay.
