Tasting Notes
Watch the platinum gold tiny bubbles dance in your glass. Enjoy a hint of unripe guava and Bosc pear on the nose. The palate delights with white pear and then Meyer lemon on the finish. There are also notes of a flaky crust to delight your senses in this well balanced sparkler. Enjoy this bright elixir with your significant other or bestie.
Vineyard Notes
This is the fourth and last vintage of Goat Bubbles from the historic Bien Nacido Vineyard in Santa Maria Valley AVA. In 2010, Flying Goat Cellars began sourcing grapes from old vines at Bien Nacido Vineyard, Block N for Pinot Noir. We now source fruit from the interplanting, clone 115, for this sophisticated expression of bubbles. The vineyard has 12x7 spacing and vertical shoot positioning (VPS) trellis system. Soil type is Elder loam and Elder shaly loam on a 9-15% slope, allowing for great drainage. The Miller family own and farm the Bien Nacido Vineyard, along with Solomon Hills, in Santa Barbara County. Planted in 1973, Block N has now been pulled out due to disease after a 45 year run.
