This may be seen as a fairly simple style of Prosecco, but it is rather delicious and, for me, as good a release as I’ve seen with this team, at this level. One can argue whether the grape variety should be called Glera or Prosecco, but in the end, the vast majority of drinkers will not care and simply enjoy the wine in front of them. There is a pale steel lemon hue, and the wine offers a gentle effervescence. The makers have left a small degree of sweetness in the wine, which ensures it will be a crowd pleaser. There are notes of lemon curds, florals, marzipan and citrus. A soft and gentle palate, the wine is of medium length and delightfully fresh. It will provide attractive drinking now for the next couple of years.
Ken was born and bred in Brisbane, Queensland. He had a non-trendy, perfectly happy childhood, in a family convinced alcohol meant instant condemnation to Hades. But a break fishing on the Great Barrier Reef, and some good wine, started a serious obsession that eventually took over. It did not stop Ken being chastised later for drinking Pol champagne, disgusted he’d drink anything made by a Cambodian dictator. Now, Ken mostly writes on wine, champagne and spirits for various newspapers, magazines and books, but is perhaps best known for his work in The Courier Mail. He also has a little sideline writing on cigars, fishing, travel and food. When not writing, fly-fishing for trout in NZ or bonefish on the flats of Cuba, travelling or smoking cigars, he is no doubt following a variety of sporting teams – the occasionally glorious Queensland Reds rugby, the dysfunctional Washington Redskins, the dodgy Arsenal and especially revels in the world restored to its proper axis with the return of the Ashes to their rightful home.
