Pale salmon in colour with the nose showing subtle red berries sitting above a yeasty/toasty base. Great mouthfeel with fresh stone fruit characters, fine tracer bubbles, and balanced acidity.
The fourth release of Bubbles and Co is made up of four vintages of base wines that blends fruit from the Yarra Valley, Strathbogie Ranges and Heathcote. This release is made from 66% Chardonnay (Strathbogie), 29% Pinot Noir (Yarra Valley) and 5% Vermentino (Heathcote).
The Chardonnay component comprises of tank fermented wine from the 2021 vintage which adds freshness and structure. There is also a small amount of 2019 for added complexity.
The 2018 Pinot Noir adds red fruits and spice elements to the overall and also gives this wine its beautiful bronze hue.
Finally the addition of the Vermentino from 2020 adds overall texture and weight to the wine.
“66/29/5% chardonnay/pinot noir/vermentino from Strathbogie, the Yarra Valley and Heathcote. A pale salmon. Savoury with some red fruits, dried herbs and spicy. Relatively dry and chalky textured with bright acidity, this moreish and tasty sparkler is a food wine than an aperitif”.
