Prosecco Col Fondo, which means ‘with its lees-sediment’, is one of our handmade originals and a bit of a cavedon wines classic! It’s a cloudy style prosecco and up there with one of our favourite ways of drinking the variety. It offers up more character and depth than the modern classic prosecco, but is still light, fun and easy drinking. Think dry, cloudy, sourdough and lemon curd. Grown by us and made by Gabe using the traditional champagne method, col fondo is fermented in the bottle itself. It’s aged on its lees for 18 months before release, giving it that classic sourdough-like aroma you get from slowly made sparkling. Although it has complexity with age, it has loads of vibrancy and freshness with delicate aromatics. Part of the magic in the slow process, is the fine bubble it produces, along with a great balance between natural acidity and a creamy palate. The dry, savoury edge also makes it a standout for food pairing.

Complex and velvety with hints of ripe yellow apple, yellow plum, whiteflowers – predominantly white rose, slightly spicy and balsamic. The low sulphur enhances a deeper and more clear-cut sense of the aromas. Intense and noble, it recalls the complexity of the aroma and hints of fruit.

This runner-up Prosecco is perfect with antipasto. Pale straw yellow in colour with lifted light nutty aromas of biscuit and cashew. A creamy palate and long finish.

Floral scents of violets and roses with a powerful fruit driven palate full of ripe red cherries, sour black cherries and a touch of spice.

“A premium prosecco – why not? A drier prosecco than usual, bringing gravitas to the style, with a smarter, tighter line and length. No simple lemonade characters here, but rather some depth in aroma and flavour. Granny Smith apples, grapefruit, pear skin, preserved lemon. Zesty, bright on the palate but settles into a citrus-infused, lemon-tart line of flavour with a waxy mouthfeel. Definitely a step up in poise and elegance for the variety.” Jeni Port

Santa Margherita Prosecco di Valdobbiandene has a very fine, persistent bead and scents of apples and pears that act as a prelude to the flavors of ripe stone fruit with a bit of melon and orange. Fresh and lively with a long, dry, yeasty finish. Bargain.

Floral bouquet laced with scents of exotic fruits, almonds, hazelnuts and mineral notes.

Sparkling shiraz is as Australian as anything, and one of the best value is from Seppelt, with the current vintage drinking superbly. Surprisingly soft and plump with ripe and giving tannins; while it's dry, there's some sweet fruit sensation on the palate that helps with dishes that have heat spikes and spice, especially Indian. Lots of plum fruit, spice and earthy notes, too, with fine acid and the fizz hit offers a refreshing lift.
