Sam Miranda Prosecco NV from high above Whitfield in the upper King Valley is a crisp, cool‑climate take on Italian fizz – light, dry and sherbet‑fresh, made purely from Glera and very much built for summer and celebrations. Fruit comes off a north‑east facing slope and is picked late once flavour peaks but acidity is still bright, giving a clean, aromatic base wine.

In the glass you get a pale straw colour with a generous bead of bubbles and inviting green‑apple aromas on the nose. The palate is soft and creamy yet bright, showing green apple and subtle pear with a sherbet‑like acidity that races through to a crisp, refreshing, gently complex finish. Made via the Charmat method and kept properly dry at about 11% alcohol, it sits at the crisper, more savoury end of the Prosecco spectrum – no lolly‑water or pear jam here.

Food‑wise, Sam Miranda Prosecco NV is a natural with antipasto, cured meats, olives, light canapés, fried snacks, seafood, sushi and soft cheeses, and it shines as an aperitif or party fizz. It’s also an easy pick for spritzes and brunch, making it a very handy King Valley sparkling to keep chilled for anything from mid‑week knock‑offs to big festive gatherings.
