While Torzi Matthews is well known for producing some of South Australia’s best value reds wine, here they turn their attention to Prosecco; the traditional sparkling wine of northern Italy’s Veneto region. 

The Torzi Matthews Vigna Cantina Prosecco 2022 is made using the traditional Martinotti / Charmat method, whereby the wine is fermented in tank as opposed to bottle. Produced from Prosecco grown in the Barossa, this is bright and aromatic with notes of stone fruits, lime and white flowers. Wonderfully bright with orchard fruits, melon, apples and lime. Finishes dry, fresh and rounded, with excellent acidity, texture, weight and persistence.

“93 Points. I’d maybe drink sparkling wine (of any style) only a handful of times per year, though I do really like this offering from Torzi. It’s dry, it’s flavoursome, it has no hard edges or abrasion, with a gentle almost silky and creamy texture, a saline complexity, fine bubbles and a long dry slightly grainy finish. Outside of that it has some lime leaf and floral perfume, lemon zest, finger lime and green apple, maybe oatmeal, and drinks a charm. Tasted: Jan23 12% alc. $28 Cork Drink: 2023 – 2027″- Gary Walsh, The Wine Front.
