Dinny Goonan Proserpina Sparkling Riesling 2022 from Victoria is a bright, zesty sparkling made from Riesling, delivering fine bubbles, crisp acidity and a refreshingly citrus‑driven profile that’s perfect as an aperitif. This Proserpina sparkling Riesling 2022 typically shows delicate white florals, green apple and lemon with a sherbet‑like, tangy edge and a clean, dry finish.

On the nose and palate, expect lemon and lime, crunchy green apple and subtle blossom notes, with a light chalky/mineral thread and that classic Riesling zest giving plenty of cut and refreshment. The sparkle adds a playful lift, making it an easy‑drinking, lower‑pressure alternative to traditional sparkling blends, while still feeling refined enough for celebrations and long lunches.

Food‑wise, it’s a natural with meaty or oily fish such as salmon, trout and mackerel, as well as prawns, crab and tempura seafood, where the acidity slices through richness and refreshes the palate. It will also work nicely with light canapés, sushi, pork belly with a citrus element, or quiche and other egg‑based brunch dishes, and is very happy simply as a chilled, lively aperitif before a meal.
