Summary: Tread Softly is a contemporary range of wines seeking to deliver delicious, freshly flavoured wines that are naturally medium weighted and moderate in alcohol. By using more sustainable vineyard management and wine-making techniques to ensure their production has had a minimal impact to the environment. Tread Softly is committed to reducing their carbon footprint and so commits to planting an Australian Native Tree for every dozen sold.
Vineyards: Sourced from established vineyards of the rich soils of the border of Victoria and South Australia. The vines are mostly dry-grown and utilise expert canopy management to help to control ripening and vigour.
Winemaking: Harvested in the cool of the morning to avoid the warmer temperatures of the day. The fruit is quickly delivered to the winery for destemming and crushing prior to a regular fermentation in stainless steel tank. A secondary tank ferment ensues to create and capture the CO2 and then a short period of storage before bottling for an early release.
Tasting Note: A delightful pale pink Prosecco delights on the nose with fresh pear, apple and subtle citrus fruit with delicate florals and subtle spice in support. The wine has a fine, persistent bead and the freshness of acidity keeps it dry on the long finish. Pair with basil, mozzarella, and tomato crostini.
