Beyond the Bubbly: Two Delicious Cocktails Using Brown Brothers King Valley Prosecco NV

Brown Brothers King Valley Prosecco NV, Australia’s premier prosecco producer, is a fresh and sparkling wine, the top choice in the New Zealand market. Sourced from the cool climate of Brown Brothers’ Banksdale vineyard in Australia’s King Valley, the grapes are picked early to preserve high acidity and crisp flavour.

With a straw-like colour and subtle green hues, this refreshing prosecco boasts a delicate nose and delightful apple and pear characteristics. Retaining the signature freshness and vibrancy, it also offers a beautiful savoury edge on the palate. The King Valley’s diverse microclimates and optimal growing conditions yield a superbly approachable prosecco that is hard to beat.
