“A sparkling prosecco specifically designed to accompany hot, spicy Sichuan foods such as hot pot. It's an intriguing move that's bound to work well, thanks, in part, to the role of 6g/L RS. A subtle, toned down prosecco, Málà looks to texture combined with citrus, apple, pear, bread dough and a touch of sweetness – not too obvious – to manage the fiery and spicy.”

About This Wine
MÁLÀ Sparkling is crafted to complement the interactive excitement of hot pot and the vibrant spice of Sichuan cuisine. It is designed as a sparkling Prosecco that pairs with bold flavours and spice.
The name references Sichuan’s signature flavour: 麻 (MÁ) meaning numb and 辣 (LÀ) meaning spicy, inspired by the sensation of Sichuan peppercorns.
Tasting Notes
Aromas of white flowers, pears and white peaches. A very approachable and gentle expression on the palate. Wonderfully refreshing with balanced flavours of pure orchard fruits and a mineral undertone.
Winemaker's Notes

Imagine the tingling warmth of Sichuan peppercorns dancing on your tongue only to be complimented by Málà’s crisp and refreshing bubbles? The result leaves you with the incredible sensation of fire and ice for the ultimate taste explosion!." — Eddie McDougall
