Guess where this great champagne copycat comes from. West Sussex. It's true, English bubbly hasn't exactly had a good reputation in the past, but with great summers and a little help from French experts, have resulted in top-class wines emerging from Ridgeview vineyard. Made with Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Meunier, this bubbly is a real talking point.
Ridgeview is currently riding high on a wave of praise from the press and the 2001 Chardonnay blend was thought to be brilliant enough to serve at the Queen's 80th Birthday dinner! Now, if it is good enough for Her Majesty?
What could be better than your favourite Pinot Grigio? Easy. Your favourite Pinot Grigio with bubbles. You don't have to pay very much for the extra joie de vivre!
The fact is that really good Prosecco is better than middle of the road Champagne. And less than half the price. What makes it so yummy? Firstly, it's a lovely wine even without the bubbles - fruity and crisp with a tangerine freshness and not to dry. Secondly, it only has half the bubbles of Champagne - so it is much gentler to drink. You'll love this wine even if you don't like Champagne!
As you know Pinot Grigio is delicious, but did you know it has pink skin? This is a revolutionary pink fizz, that's super refreshing, not too dry with lovely delicate flavours that will set any celebration alight. Brilliant value, all-rounder which is guaranteed to get your guests smiling.
It's very hard not to love this wine - it makes you smile!! But, it's hardly surprising if you haven't tried Brachetto before. This wine is a treasure that is seldom seen outside Italy. Even better than Lambrusco Reggiano, this hard to find gem is highly sought after. Light, a touch sweet but super-refreshing, it's quite unique. Low alcohol, slight frizzante and red.
We've been begging our man Steve Grimley in South Australia for some of this stock for a bit now. I was about to drop him from my Christmas card list when he finally relented. It's normally lapped up by the Adelaide locals before we see it and they know how to slake the thirst. Sun and Aussie Brut - an afternoons entertainment.
Award winning producer, Adrina Vini and Claudio Manera, of Araldica fame, have hit the nail on the head with this one. When it comes to making aromatic Prosecco, there is not a lot they don't know and this is perfectly presented in this deliciously light, fruity Prosecco. With oodles of apple and peach on the nose and an interesting soft finish, this will go down super easy and have you racing back for more.
