BOB鈥橲 BEST BUYS  

Wine: Balvonie Prosecco, Marlborough $34.59  

Why I chose it: 

  • It is the only Kiwi Prosecco I know of 
  • Prosecco may be the world鈥檚 most popular sparkling wine 
  • 100% Glera  
  • A popular style, everyone loves Prosecco  
  • A perfect summer wine  
  • Have a Prosecco tasting and compare it with Australian and Italian Prosecco  

What does it taste like?    

An attractive, creamy sparkling wine with an appealing mellow freshness and restrained mousse. An initial marmite-like yeastiness faded quickly leaving a clean, mouth-cleansing sensation in its place. It could easily be mistaken for an Italian Prosecco.  

Why it鈥檚 a bargain:  

It鈥檚 not cheap but it is good and certainly worth the price.  

Where can you buy it?  

On the .   

Food Match:  

It's versatile, good with most seafood.  

Will it Keep?  

Drink up.
