Astoria, Casa Vittorino Prosecco Brut Valdobbiadene 2022
Paolo and Giorgio Polegato have been at the helm of Astoria for over 30 years, making spectacular fizz as one of the most successful Prosecco Superiore houses. Their 40 hectare estate in Conegliano Valdobbiadene is almost 500ft above sea level and their grapes are grown, harvested and matured on site in the most innovative of ways. Glera grapes are grown to perfection and then hand-picked and sorted by keen eyes, ensuring only the best of the batch are included in the vat. The hand-harvested grapes are then fermented at low temperatures to preserve aromas, where finally the wine is moved into state-of-the-art pressurised steel tanks to gain its fizz. The end result is a crisp, dry Prosecco with fine pearl bubbles and silky mouthfeel. Simply delicious. "Pale straw in colour. An inviting nose with white peach and green apple immediately present, leading to subtle hints of apricot, white blossom and yellow apple too. The palate is packed with depth; those white peach notes and green apple return to the fore though now with slightly sweeter yellow fruits – Mirabelle plum and jasmine are all wrapped up in a lovely acidity with a very fine mousse. There is a real mineral streak, found in very few Proseccos giving this a real step up. Excellent!" Our note
Laborie Blanc de Blancs 2019
Laborie Méthode Cap Classique Blanc de Blancs is a complex and indulgent sparkling wine from South Africa's Western Cape, crafted from 100% Chardonnay. This wine shows clarity of fruit on the nose with hints of lime accompanied by aromas of toasted bread and hazelnut. The palate is creamy, round and textured with an explosive acidity and lasting, elegant finish. Why You'll Love It This is premium Blanc de Blancs crafted with exceptional care. Made from hand-harvested Chardonnay using only the best cuvée juice, the wine undergoes secondary fermentation in the bottle followed by an impressive 48 months of lees ageing—four years of patient maturation that creates extraordinary complexity, creaminess, and depth. The result is a sophisticated sparkling wine that rivals the finest Champagnes at outstanding value. Meet the Producer Laborie is a historic Western Cape winery dedicated to producing premium wines that reflect the unique terroir of South Africa. Their commitment to traditional method sparkling wines ensures exceptional quality and character in every bottle. Production The grapes were hand-harvested into bins in the cool of the morning, then whole-bunch pressed with only the best cuvée juice used for the final blend. A selected yeast strain was used for primary fermentation, with no malolactic fermentation permitted to ensure freshness. The wine was blended, bottled and underwent secondary fermentation in the bottle, followed by approximately 48 months of lees ageing before disgorgement. Tasting Notes Complex and indulgent with clarity of fruit on the nose. Hints of lime are accompanied by aromas of toasted bread and hazelnut. The palate is creamy, round and textured with explosive acidity and a lasting, elegant finish. Food Match Enjoy this bubbly well chilled and on its own, or with oysters, sushi and other delicate seafood dishes. Also perfect for celebrations. Grape Variety Chardonnay
