BB – A major difference between the two is how they get their sparkle bubble! Prosecco and Champagne naturally have bubbles because of the secondary fermentation of the wine.

It takes much longer for the Champagne to ferment the second time, as it’s actually done in the bottle – whereas Prosecco is fermented in the tank.

That’s one of the reasons why Champagne is more expensive!

Brown Brothers Premium Brut is created from a single vineyard, at the top of the King Valley in Victoria.

It’s slightly drier than the NV Brown Brothers Prosecco and has a much finer bubble on the palate.

The new Brown Brothers Prosecco Brut has a floral character, in addition to its zesty lemon notes.

Prosecco is made from prosecco grapes, which are at their best when they’re grown in cooler climates – such as the King Valley.

The wine undergoes a first ferment, which makes the grape juice into still wine. This is then transferred to tanks where we add a small amount of sugar, and a secondary ferment starts – creating the natural Carbon Dioxide that makes the bubbles in the Prosecco.

The different sweetness of a Prosecco will depend on how long this ferment goes for, so the BB Premium Prosecco Brut is fermented for longer than the original NV Prosecco – leaving it with a much more dry and crisp palate.

The Prosecco Brut is the perfect wine for a celebration! You can pair it with smoked salmon on mini toasts, a simple fresh oyster with lime – or even just enjoy it on its own.

It’s great pre-dinner, as the citrus zest of this wine and the sparkling palate will get your taste buds moving ready for the meal ahead!
