Winemaker’s Notes
Harvested in late September from vineyards very close to the shores of Lake Ontario; a slower maturing site than most due to the cooler evenings and nights in the fall. These wines were fermented separately in stainless steel tanks using selected yeast and a maximum fermentation temperature of 14C. The wines were settled followed by filtration before being transferred to a sealed Charmat tank for the second fermentation. This ferment took over a month, giving a soft, delicate bubble and great complexity.
Tasting Notes
Light, dry, fruity and floral with notes of toast, brioche, yellow apple, honeycomb and sometimes hazelnut lend Bubble a surprizingly Champagne-like character .
Fresh bread dough, white chocolate are dominated by citrus and orchard fruit aromas: yellow apple and lime with lemon curd, yellow flowers and almond paste on the palate.
Pale gold in colour, this wine shows great balance, a little texture, sweet, ripe tree fruit aromas and freshness on the finish of citrus and minerality.
Pairing Notes
Pair with reception canapés, lawn parties, galas, milestone celebrations and fashion runways.
