Wine review: Clandestine Vineyards Prosecco Rosé
I love a Prosecco, and now that it’s spring I am all here for it! So when I was sent the brand new release of the Clandestine Vineyards Prosecco Rosé, I was so excited to crack it open! Prosecco Rosé is a relatively new concept (only recently being approved in Italy), and now it is really gaining popularity. It’s easy to see why with wines like these. They give you the best of both worlds: the zippiness of a prosecco with the pretty colour and additional flavours of a Sparkling Rosé. At $25 a bottle, this wine really delivers on all fronts!
Firstly, the Clandestine Vineyards Prosecco Rosé is the prettiest pale pink blush in colour. The wine looks like Spring in a glass, and I’m all here for it. Lively notes of raspberry, strawberry and a hint of citrus come together in a lush palate that is packed full of zippy acidity. This wine is oh so refreshing, and I can’t think of a better one to bring in the warmer weather with! It would be great on its own before dinner, or even as an Aperitivo with a charcuterie board. If you’re feeling cheeky, you could even enjoy it with brunch!
About Clandestine Vineyards
Clandestine Vineyards’ focus is to represent 100% varietal wines from single vineyard sites across the best sub-regions for those varietals. Growers are chosen for best organic vineyard practices, zero harmful pesticides/herbicides and commitment to sustainability.
Coordinating 14 separate vineyards, two winemakers and two processing facilities across two states (WA and SA) is no easy task, especially in a pandemic, but Clandestine Vineyards takes it in their stride to produce incredible wines based on longstanding relationships and the founders, Nick and Trudy’s, vision for every vintage.
This wine is from the King Valley in Victoria and the Cavedon Vineyard. The Glera grapes were planted in 2006.
You can purchase this wine from Clandestine Vineyards website.
Note: This wine was sent as a sample. I was under no obligation to post about it.
