✨ Technical Specifications
Averys of Bristol, with over two centuries of merchant heritage, has long excelled at sourcing exceptional wines that represent the quintessential character of their regions. For their Signature Prosecco, they turned to the picturesque, sun-drenched hills of Veneto in northeastern Italy. Crafted from the native Glera grape, this sparkling white wine is produced using the Charmat method in stainless steel autoclaves, which beautifully preserves the grape's delicate, primary aromatics. The terroir of the region—characterized by mineral-rich clay-limestone soils and a climate moderated by both the Adriatic Sea and the nearby Alps—imparts a vibrant acidity and crisp freshness to the wine, making it a classic representation of Italian sparkling elegance curated by a historic British merchant.
🍾 About the Producer
Established in Bristol in 1793, Averys is one of the United Kingdom's oldest and most historic independent wine merchants and négociant houses. Throughout the twentieth century, under the visionary leadership of Ronald Avery and subsequently his son John Avery MW, the firm cemented an international reputation as an adventurous pioneer. Averys was among the very first British merchants to champion Bordeaux's Right Bank estates—introducing Château Pétrus to the UK market—and broke early ground importing nascent New World benchmarks from California and Australia. Operating as a négociant selector, Averys partners closely with family-owned domaines across classic European appellations including Champagne, Burgundy, the Loire, Pfalz, and Rioja. Across its diverse portfolio, the merchant prioritizes expressive varietal clarity, classic regional typicity, and balanced viticulture. Benchmark own-label releases like their Special Cuvée Brut Champagne, Fine White Burgundy, and Fine Riesling showcase Averys' enduring cellar heritage and palate for authentic terroir-driven wines.
