Carlos Ferreira of The Sign of the Don appreciated its ‘complexity on nose and palate, with vanilla and green fruit’, while Michael Moore of The London Cookhouse found it ‘enjoyable drinking wine, that would be great with ginger prawns’.

This extra-dry prosecco took Gold not only for its fine balance and complex fruit, but for displaying some excellent value for money, too. It had notes of ‘bergamot and pear, as well as some candied apple’, according to Quentin Loisel of Restaurant Sat Bains with Rooms, while team leader Lionel Periner found ‘fresh lime and nice exotic fruit, making this a good match for pear with saffron mousse’.
