THE WINEMAKING
The 2023 fruit for the NV Prosecco was picked early mornings during March to retain varietal expression and character. Using the 2023 Vintage as a starting point, up to five other vintages have been blended to create a complex and harmonious Prosecco which was Charmat fermented to create the natural CO2 retained in the wine. After completion of secondary fermentation, the wine received a small addition of expedition liqueur to provide the final balance and structure.
THE VINTAGE
The 2023 vintage will go down as not only one of the latest on record, but also one of the most challenging in recent memory. A third La Niña event in a row made for a much cooler and wetter spring followed by a cool summer and autumn with small rain events that certainly kept us on our toes. Whilst the weather made for some stressful and busy periods, we were able to harvest everything at optimum ripeness.
