ORGANIC CERTIFICATION
We are proud to announce that we have finally received our organic certification for vineyard practices. After a three year audit by NASAA, our accreditation highlights the philosophy we share for sustainable farming protocols. We are glad we have this certification so we can proudly promote the 2010 vintage and onwards as certified organic viticulture.
The newest product and the first that is certified in the Protero portfolio, is our 2010 Pinot Noir Rosé. A small batch of around 250 cases was made this year for the South Australian market.
"Perfumed creamy strawberries and lifted rose petals are evident in this “pretty” wine.
Tart raspberry and mouth watering acidity build on a textured palate. Limited Production."
Simple Chinese Cooking - by Kylie Kwon
On the 10th of April, 2006 at Cibo Ristorante in North Adelaide, our Protero 2005 Chardonnay was selected for the third course on the degustation menu, to launch Kylie Kwon's new book "Simple Chinese Cooking".
The five course menu was conceived by Kylie Kwong and Salvatore Pepe. Our 2005 Protero Chardonnay made a wonderful accompaniment to:
Ocean Trout Carpaccio with Prawn & Mint Salad
"Simply Divine"
Thank you kylie & Pepe.
Excerpts from a Sommelier's diary reflections on 2005.
by Flying Fish Sommelier Peter Healy
Great new find for the year, Protero 2004 Viognier from the Adelaide Hills Sth Australia. Tiny producer, but has so nailed this grape with the most elegant example I have ever seen in Australia. White peach, hints of apricot and an all important underlying minerality and acidity that keeps it moving and finishes clean. I have matched it with pan roasted barramundi with spiced calamari, speck and cauliflower on the degustation and it has been a huge success by the glass.
