Tasting Notes
Like a string of pearls on fragile lace, the bubbles reflect a delicate luminescence in your glass. Antique white in color, this sparkler is perfect for special occassions or just because.... Enjoy subtle hints of blood orange, apricot and cashew on the nose. The palate delights with flavors of marizpan complemented by tangy fruit. This rich, well balanced sparkling wine is quite refreshing on the palate.
Vineyard Notes
This is the third vintage of Goat Bubbles from the historic Bien Nacido Vineyards 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 out newest 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.
