Details
The Russell & Suitor Prosecco has all the hallmarks of fun and fizzy Prosecco with apple sherbert tones, zippy lemon and lime notes and a finish that will have you popping another bottle before you realise it.
Origin: There’s a small village called Prosecco near Trieste, in Friuli, Italy. Mainly Grown In: Prosecco can only come from either the Friuli or Veneto regions, in the north-east of Italy. Key Facts: Prosecco is THE sparkling wine of Italy. Sure, they make other fizzy stuff, but Prosecco is the most produced and the best known. The main grape is known as Glera these days (confusingly enough it was formerly known as Prosecco), but was changed in an attempt to keep Prosecco strictly Italian. It’s often a touch sweeter than other sparkling wines, but just in a fruit-forward kind of way, not a dessert-wine kind of way. It’s made slightly differently to Champagne and traditional method wines, and always shows off keen acidity, a lovely yellow apple and pear kind of flavour and is inherently refreshing. Fun Fact: Prosecco is one of the most important ingredients in the famous italian cocktail, Aperol Spritz!

Pairing guide
There’s not a wine lover alive who doesn’t love bringing out a chilled bottle of Prosecco during lunchtime, and this sparkling stunner from Russell & Suitor really knows how to get those taste buds tingling! It’s a top wine for matching with spicy fried snacks - samosas, pakoras, Korean fried chicken or chilli squid, especially - and will work very well with veggie fritters, canapes of all types, and treats like prosciutto melone or cheese and bacon croquetas. Antipasti dishes, charcuterie and sweet-and-savoury favourites like goat’s cheese with red onion marmalade will work wonders on the palate, too.

Wine region

Riverland, Australia
Located in the heart of South Australia, the Riverland wine region is a tropical paradise for wine lovers. The region was formerly known for its traditional wines, particularly Shiraz, Chardonnay, and Grenache as well as its abundance of sunshine and beautiful scenery. In the last few years it's added a raft of Mediterranean varieties to its charm - think Fiano and Nero d'Avola. The warm climate and fertile soils of the Riverland make it a perfect place for grape growing, and the wines produced there are bursting with flavour. So why not explore the wines of the Riverland and discover a new favourite?
