A top aperitif style

93 Points

Another fresh, energetic and vibrant example showing drinkers yet again why the King Valley is the home of great Australian prosecco. A top aperitif style in cut apple, pear, citrus and that tell-tale chalky lemon texture that teases the tastebuds and won’t let go.

ELEVAGE PROSECCO
Michael’s wine journey began sourcing grapes for making sparkling wine
in the cool climate regions of Victoria, particularly from high altitude
vineyards of the Great Dividing Range and the King Valley. His journey
has come full circle as Redbank once again sources fruit from these very
vineyards. The revelation of the quality of these vineyards for sparkling
wines has reignited the passion at Redbank, resulting in the release of a
single vineyard Prosecco, where altitude is everything.
Élevage is a French wine making term, it is the process of nurturing the
wine from fermentation to the perfect finished product. For Redbank,
Elevage (el-e-vazh) is representative of the elevation of our vineyards and
styles.
NOSE
The bouquet shows hints of pear, honeycomb and granny smith apples.
PALATE
The palate is subtly sweet and finely balanced by natural acidity, typical chalky texture and a light savoury finish. It’s dry and refreshing.
WINE MAKING
All aspects of winemaking are focused on maintaining a refreshing, crisp sparkling wine with delicate flavour. The grapes are harvested and pressed on a gentle cycle to minimise phenolics and then fermented to produce a classic base wine.
