Brown Brothers King Valley Limited Release Prosecco

Brown Brothers’ entry Prosecco is beautifully made and perpetually discounted, but for an extra $5 you can trade up to the vintage-dated deluxe model. From the best parcels of Brown Brothers’ single vineyard King Valley site, thrust 485m into the heavens, this is a primary, crunchy, clean and fruity style. Its crisp nashi pear, grapefruit and subtle ginger spice are softened with a similar level of sweetness to brut champagne, lending a honeyed note to its cool, high altitude acidity and fine texture. $18 at Cracka, Canterbury, Fassina, Jims, Winesaver and Coles Online.
