FIRST RIDGE 'ALIRA' PROSECCO 2024 ($32 / Mudgee, NSW)
This sparkling Prosecco from First Ridge (under screwcap), delivers vibrant effervescence and refreshing aromas and flavours of pear and green apples with a hint of lemon tartness.
It is currently lively and textural with a mid-palate aldehydic grip that makes it well suited to green salads and fresh seafood platters
It will be interesting to track its penetration in the Prosecco-trendy retail market at its price point. However it's bound to be popular at cellar door tastings and sales.
It's one to be enjoyed now
