Prosecco -
Brown Brothers

Ref: A0694

This is the first release of the Brown Brothers Prosecco. The Prosecco is another example of Brown Brothers innovation and experimentation as we bring more and more styles of wine to our portfolio.

The Prosecco has a pale gold colour with subtle green hues and a delicate nose displaying citrus, apple and pear characters. These characters follow through to the palate which is fresh and crisp with tight natural acidity from the cool climate fruit.

Prosecco is made to drink young while it is at its light and delicate best. The grape variety Prosecco is the name of an appellation in north east Italy as well as being the name of a variety. Sparkling Prosecco is made using the Charmat method of sparkling production which is in a pressurised tank to retain the bubbles. The grapes are generally harvested early to get high levels of natural acidity and fresh crisp flavours. The wine is drunk widely through in its home country but is not really made outside of Italy. The best examples come from the cooler climates and hence Brown Brothers have Prosecco growing at their Banksdale vineyard at 485m above sea level in the King Valley.

The fruit was harvested in late February and after primary fermentation the wine was the fermented in a pressure tank to 5 atmospheres of pressure and then bottled to retain the bubbles.

The 2008 Prosecco is so fresh and crisp that it is a great drink on its own to kick off an evening. This wine’s attractive flavours make it a suitable partner to pan fried scallops with a lemon influenced dressing or freshly shucked oysters. Try Prosecco with a selection of sushi and sashimi for a great combination.

The dynamic, yet traditionally rooted family company of Brown Brothers, has been supplying us with premium Victorian varietals since the beginning of the 1980’s. John Brown (snr.) passed away and sadly his wife Patricia died in 2004 but their sons will continue with the tradition of being Australia’s leading varietal specialist, with some 35 different premium varietal wines being regularly or experimentally produced. This exceptional range of wines comes from their own Milawa, Mystic Park, Banksdale and Whitlands vineyards and they also operate an unusual ‘Bonus Contract Scheme’ with numerous growers in the King Valley, where they pay high prices for grapes on the understanding that each grower achieves the highest level of quality possible.
