While Torzi Matthews is well known for producing some of South Australia's best value reds wine, here they turn their attention to Prosecco; the traditional sparkling wine of northern Italy's Veneto region.
The 2023 Torzi Matthews 'Vigna Cantina' Prosecco is made using the traditional Martinotti / Charmat method, whereby the wine is fermented in tank as opposed to bottle. Produced from Prosecco grown in the Barossa, this is an aromatic sparkling wine with plenty of lifted stone fruit, lime and white flowers notes. The palate offers impressive texture and weight, with lots of melon, apple and citrus flavours and a long, dry finish. An impressive local Prosecco offering that's attracting plenty of well-deserving attention.
"I’m pretty sure you can’t find a better sparkling wine at this price. This is the 11th vintage of this wine, and it’s maybe the best to date. Saline, gently nutty, lemon and lime, green apple, some floral notes. It’s tight and salt-crusted, like the tasty little cracker it is, the bubbles are quite fine but insistent, lime rind and fine chalky texture, real energy here, and it’s so good to drink. A little soda water bite on a finish of excellent length. These pretzels are making me thirsty! 93 Points Tasted: Apr24. 12% alc. $28. Closure: Diam Drink: 2024 - 2028"- Gary Walsh, The Wine Front.
