Prosecco Di Valdobbiadenne, Bortolomiol 'Banda Rossa' 75cl

IWC Bronze Medal. 11.5% abv. Fabulous! If you've never tried a good Prosecco please try this one. The sparkling wine market has been dominated by expensive Champagne and bone dry, sometimes acidic, Cava. Now the Italians are showing the rest of the world how to do it. The 'Banda Rossa' denotes this is the best wine from the prestigious Bortolomiol House. Persistent mousse, but not overly gassy, supremely balanced acidity, great flavour and just off dry on the finish. This wine is absolutely delicious and highly recommended. Perfect for weddings, christenings, birthdays etc but at this price there's no need to wait for a special occassion. Great presentation too.

This is also a superb sparkling wine. The presentation issue has now been resolved and it looks pretty good. The wine itself is superb. Great mousse, very well balanced with delicious flavours. No suprise really when you consider Morton are Chardonnay and Pinot Noir aficianados. Highly recommended!

Prosecco IGT Corda Domiziano Frizzante 75cl

11% abv. A frizzante - lightly sparkling - Prosecco with a cork closure, requiring a corkscrew to open, but still goes off with a pop! This style of Prosecco has always been popular with the Italians as an aperitif or a summer drink, and it's now growing quickly in popularity in the UK too. Lovely flavours with a degree of sweet fruit, full in the mouth, with a really dry crisp finish. Well balanced acidity too. This is a very enjoyable summer wine, give it a try!

Prosecco DOC Valdobbiadene Casagheller 75cl

11% abv. Extra dry Spumante. This is a delicious Prosecco with concentrated fruit flavours from the premier Prosecco region. The sweetness of the fruit is beautifully contrasted against the crisp, bone dry finish. Well balanced acidity with a consistent mousse. Ideal aperitif or celebration wine, or just to enjoy with friends. Presentation is also very impressive with an embossed bottle, making it an ideal expensive looking gift.

Morton Estates Sparkling Method Traditionelle Black Label 2002 75cl

Mercedes Benz Hawke's Bay Wine Awards 2009 - Bronze Medal

Below are my tasting notes for the 2000. I will be tasting this 2002 shortly. They've used Chardonnay in the new blend although it's still dominated by Pinot Meunier in the Champagne stlye. Morton say it's as good as the 2000 so I'm really looking forward to trying it.

This is a fantastic sparkling wine, better than many Champagnes. Morton have been waiting five years to release this vintage. as it's their first vintage to consist of 50% Pinot Noir and 50% Pinot Meunier. They've dropped the Chardonnay to concentrate on the two other Champagne grapes. Pinot Meunier gives this wine it's concentrated nose and strong fruit characteristics, while the Pinot Noir contributes body and structure. The wine has a concentrated nose followed on the palate by strong fruit flavours with a rich and creamy mouthfeel. Great mousse with very well balanced acidity and a bone dry finish with great length. Once you've tried this wine you'll never go back to non vintage Champagnes again, it's pure indulgence! This is an exclusive wine with serious prestige as it's extremely rare in the UK.

Morton Estates Sparkling Method Traditionelle Black Label 2000 75cl

Gold Medal International Wine & Spirits Competition 2007 & Best in Class, Gold Medal Royal Hobart Wine Show 2005.

Sorry it's now all gone!

This is the very last of the stunning 2000 vintage in the world as far as we know. Even Morton Estates themselves have none left in New Zealand. Now this vintage is very special. As well as the array of gold medals and trophies, this wine is special because it's a blend of 50% each Pinot Meunier and Pinot Noir - no Chardonnay. It is truly stunning! Only a small quantity left so buy it now while you can!

Jaume Serra Cava Brut Nature 75cl

11.5% abv. This is a delicious, easy drinking Cava with well balanced acidity. Most Cavas at this price tend to be green and overly acidic, and can leave you wondering how it ever became so popular. This one however goes a long way to restoring people's faith in the name. Great as an aperitif or for any celebration. As regards sulphites, Jane can drink it without a reaction but if you're sulphite sensitive I'd recommend playing it safe and going for the fabulous Morton Estates Sec, which Jane and I drink buckets of!
