Embrace the Excellence of Elusia at Gauntleys
We are delighted to announce the timely arrival of our new shipment of our ever-popular Prosecco, the Organic Elusia. The perfect cork to pop, in the sun!
As we are all aware, Prosecco has become nothing short of a 'premium brand' over the past 15 years or so. However, our much-favoured fizz is by no means a new phenomenon, with the first production of Prosecco being recorded in the 1770s.
With 15 ha within the UNESCO world heritage site of the Prosecco hills, Elusia's pristine Prosecco comes from Glera grapes grown on slopes in Treviso and part from the renowned areas of Lison-Pramaggiore. Grown on the silty clay soils, rich in mineral elements, the vines benefit from an exceptional micro-climate, providing an optimum exposure to the sun, combined with a fresh breeze, to dry the vines after periods of rain.
The Elusia estate is dedicated to the production of organic wines. Eliminating the use of any chemical fertilisers or pesticides, to improve the quality of the soil, eradicate erosion and encourage the biodiversity of the environment, together with avoiding over use of any sulphur to create a more natural, purer wine on the palate.
With the first and secondary fermentation in tank, the Organic Elusia has a fine and persistent mousse, a beautifully clean, fresh, floral bouquet with delicate white fruits, followed by a delightfully clean, dry palate with mouthwatering ripe pear fruits balanced by a vibrant acidity, with a lingering, fresh finish.
Despite the wine being refreshingly easy to drink, it is surprisingly versatile, making it a good pairing for a wide variety of dishes and courses. The perfect aperitif, Elusia is an ideal choice with a variety of appetizers, including fresh salads, fried fish, or vegetables. It makes an equally enjoyable partner to rice, or pasta dishes with seafood, as well as charcuterie, cheese - or pizza!
Let's get ready to party! Enjoy the sun and embrace Elusia!
