Cavedon Prosecco Col Fondo 2022 from Cavedon Wines in the King Valley is a cloudy, bottle‑fermented Prosecco that leans into texture and savouriness – think dry, sourdough and lemon curd rather than simple sweet fizz. It’s one of Cavedon’s handmade originals and has quickly become a bit of a cult King Valley sparkling.

In the glass, Cavedon Prosecco Col Fondo 2022 pours hazy, with fine sediment and aromas of crisp apple, quince, citrus blossom and subtle herbs. The palate is bone‑dry and cloudy, showing crunchy apple and lemon, sourdough crust and lemon‑curd tang, all carried by lively bubbles and a gently yeasty, mineral line that makes it hugely refreshing and distinct.

From an Adelaide sommelier’s angle, this is spot‑on with oysters, caviar and white fish, as well as fried seafood, salty snacks and antipasto. It’s the Cavedon Prosecco Col Fondo 2022 you crack when you want something a bit funky and “Euro‑bistro” – perfect for natural‑leaning drinkers and long, seafood‑heavy lunches.
