The 2021 Cavedon Prosecco Brut Zero Dosage is a handcrafted traditional-method sparkling wine from King Valley, Victoria, offering a distinctive expression of Prosecco with no dosage, allowing the purity of the fruit and extended lees ageing to take centre stage. Produced from free-run Glera juice and matured on its lees for at least 18 months before hand riddling and disgorgement, this wine opens with refined aromas of green apple, lemon zest and pear, complemented by freshly baked bread, toasted almond and delicate floral notes.
On the palate, it is light to medium-bodied with exceptionally fine bubbles, bright natural acidity and a creamy, textured mouthfeel. Flavours of crisp apple, citrus peel and orchard fruit are layered with subtle brioche, gentle nuttiness and a distinctive mineral edge, leading to a long, dry and precise finish. With zero dosage, the wine delivers remarkable freshness and clarity, allowing its traditional-method craftsmanship and cool-climate character to shine through.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is an outstanding choice for customers seeking a more refined, dry style of Australian sparkling wine with the complexity of traditional bottle fermentation. It pairs beautifully with freshly shucked oysters, sashimi, grilled prawns, seared scallops or soft-ripened cheeses. Best enjoyed well chilled over the next 5–8 years, during which it will continue to develop additional savoury complexity while maintaining its vibrant freshness.
