Details
The ‘Zero Dosage’ Prosecco from Billy Button is steely and driven with green apple skin and lemon sherbert. This dry Prosecco is perfect for summer days by the pool with a fruit salad at your fingertips.
Billy Button is located in the picturesque region of the Alpine Valleys, and aside from having the word valley in its name, has the crown for being the highest region in Australia. The cellar door is located in the exceptionally beautiful town of Bright, and although it was named after a British statesman, it should have been named after the incredibly bright skies found here. The town is located at the valley of Mount Buffalo, so is an ideal stop when visiting the slopes for skiing or staying at the local camping grounds. The winery is the creation of Jo Marsh and her husband Glenn James, who have the lofty ambition of making a wine from any grape variety that has existed (we kid, but seriously they produce a lot of wines) and representing Alpine Valleys and its surrounding regions with pride. The wines are named after the Billy Button, a native flower which is found in the region, and are well made and worth the price of admission. They also make a handful of wines under their Shy Susan and Clay Pot labels, which are equally worth seeking out.

Pairing guide
Like most sparkling wines, this dry and tempting Prosecco is about as food-friendly as they come. However, if you’re after food-pairing perfection, we’d urge you to serve this fizzy bottle alongside cured meats like prosciutto crudo, salty aged cheeses, and anything featuring almonds - it’s a match made in heaven! This wine also pairs very well with stuffed mushrooms and olives, and will also go nicely with Pad Thai, Szechuan noodles, and light pork dishes, too.

Wine region

Alpine Valleys, Australia
In north-east Victoria, neighbouring Beechworth and King Valley regions is scenic Alpine Valley. It is quite the tourist destination with year-round resort activities at Mt Hotham, Mt Buffalo and Falls Creek. The main varieties here are Prosecco, Chardonnay and Pinot Noir in the cooler lofty areas, while Shiraz and Cabernet Sauvignon perform in the warmer lower elevations. Vineyard elevations here range between 155m-320m, but the highest point in the region is 1972m above sea level for scale!
Alpine Valley is most certainly continental, with a favourably big difference between day and night temperatures. Careful site selection is critical here, vignerons favour slopey hillsides with optimum airflow to minimise the threat of frost in Spring - during flowering and Autumn frost around harvest season.
