Tread Softly South Australia Prosecco NV (Australia)

Description

Floral, Grapefruit, Pear

"It is delightfully fruited and elegantly lifted on the nose showing grapefruit, apple, nectarine and subtle oatmeal characters. The palate delivers bright fruit intensity and fine texture, together with rounded mouthfeel and juicy acidity, finishing long and very tasty" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit

Fruit driven flavours are at the fore with fresh pear, apple and subtle citrus fruit with florals and brown spice in support. The wine has a fine, persistent bead and the freshness of acidity helps to drive a longer and satisfying finish.

Sourced from established vineyards of the rich soils of the border of Victoria and South Australia. The vines are mostly dry-grown and utilise expert canopy management to help to control ripening and vigour.

Harvested in the cool of the morning to avoid the warmer temperatures of the day. The fruit is quickly delivered to the winery for destemming and crushing prior to a regular fermentation in stainless steel tank. A secondary tank ferment ensues to create and capture the CO2 and then a short period of storage before bottling for an early release.
