"A really nice bouquet and palate of ripe pomaceous fruits led by apple and pear then a white nectarine and lees complexity. Fresh, lush and juicy flavours framed by a bold mousse and exacting acidity. Such an nice easy drinking style tasting better on day two. Fruity and just dry, balanced, well made and ready to drink from day of purchase through 2028 "

Balvonie Prosecco Brut is a genuine New Zealand first—crafted entirely from the Glera grape (the true Prosecco variety) and fermented in the bottle just like Champagne. That traditional method gives it a richness and depth of flavour you simply don’t find in most commercial Prosecco.
This exciting new release is the result of a three-year passion project from Ben and Helen McLauchlan, who planted Glera in their Rapaura vineyard after falling head-over-heels for Prosecco while living in the UK. Local critics are already raving, and it’s shaping up to be a future Kiwi icon.
