The Mediterranean variety Prosecco is idyllic as a refreshing sparkling or partners impeccably in a mixed spritzer. Lemon pith, wax and mimosa flower.
A secco style (dry), lower in alcohol 10.5% and secondary fermented in stainless steel to express the refreshing long acid this variety naturally has.
Ada is her real name! My 95 year old Grandmother preferred to go by her middle name 'Mary' growing up and we have always known her as the latter. Only recently did we learn of her first name, 'Ada' and with Prosecco possibly having to change its 'birth' name in the future, it was a serendipitous synergy!
In a recent (July 2025) Young Gun of Wine Deep Dive into Australian Prosecco, two judges, loved Ada. Both Patil and Meikle-Briggs counted this among their top wines of the day, praising its precision, lift and food-friendliness. “Intriguing flavours – citrus, apple, pear, bread dough – with a bit of residual sweetness,” said Patil. “The fine silky texture, driven by secondary flavours of pastry and brioche, is amazing.” He suggested it would pair particularly well with Korean dishes like bibimbap or spicy kimchi noodles. Meikle-Briggs noted the wine’s “fine mousse and a bit of a ‘bite’,” with yellow grapefruit, lime and green apple giving a citrus kick, beautifully counterbalanced by jasmine florals. “Red apple, quince, and ripe yellow pear bring in a nice fruit balance,” he added, describing the finish as clean and refreshing, with just the right touch of bitterness.
