FITTINGLY FROM A ‘KING’

Made from grapes grown in Australia’s King Valley, which boasts a climate similar to that of northern Italy, Brown Brothers’ Prosecco NV and Prosecco Rosé practically set the scene for get-togethers. These versatile wines (available nationwide) feature prosecco bubbles to help ‘scrub the palate’ between light and heavy courses.

Prosecco Scones

Thanks to Brown Brothers and Shellie Froidevaux (aka Iron Chef Shellie), here’s a tempting way to spice up some popular homemade treats.

> Four cups self-raising flour, sifted

> 300ml Brown Brothers Prosecco

Cook your chosen grain following the instructions on its packet and set aside. Halve cherry tomatoes and place them in large bowl. Halve the peaches, remove the stones and slice into think chunks. Halve the chilli (remove seeds and pith for less heat) and chop. Add the chilli and peaches into the bowl with the tomatoes.

Peel the garlic and grate it into the bowl. Add the oregano. Tear basil leaves and crumble feta into the mixture. Grate in the lemon zest and squeeze in its juice. Add olive oil along with a pinch each of salt and pepper. Fold the cooked grains in with the mixture, serve and enjoy!

> 300ml cream

Preheat the oven to 200 degrees Celsius. Sift flour into a large bowl, add cream and Brown Brothers Prosecco. Mix together with a fork, until combined.

Pat mixture onto a well-floured board, cut with floured scone cutter and place on baking tray. Bake for 10-12 minutes. Cool scones on trays and serve with jam. Add a dash of whipped cream and serve these sumptuous scones with a glass (or more!) of prosecco.
