We are fortunate to live in a time of wine discovery. Let
us explain. All the famous old world wine regions (Europe)
were recognised many hundreds of years ago and complex
classifications have evolved to protect their integrity. In
our part of the world we do have old established regions
such as the Barossa Valley but we have also watched
many new regions develop which began as recently as
the 1960s, 1970s and the 1980s. And this exploration
has not yet finished. Marlborough, New Zealand is as
young as 1973. Very slowly it expanded, but recognition
of the amazing flavours that developed with Sauvignon
Blanc were only recognised by a wide drinking public as
recently as the 1990s. How young and exciting is that?

source is Italy, a country with a relaxed view about life
and what is important, and near the top of their rating is
wine and food. The facts you need to know are the variety,
formerly Prosecco, is now called Glera, and was originally
the product of the Veneto region in Italy. And, Prosecco is
the base of the famous cocktail Bellini, which is Prosecco

Guillaume De Vergy for quality and price. The wine shows
gentle, dry fruit flavours and a finish that is surprisingly
fine and lengthy. The French are supreme masters at
making elegant sparkling wines at fair prices. This skill
requires a lot of technical ‘know how’ and they have
plenty of that. The skills learned from the 350 years of
perfecting Champagne have been passed on.
