I am not a huge fan of "bubbles" much to my husbands horror. I find that I just don't have the hang of appreciating the stuff.
However, there are a few I love - and this is one of them. Made to the "Methode Traditionelle" it spent seven years on lees.
A straw colour - there is a yeasty sweet nose of apple bun - but it is not a sweet wine to taste. There is little acid so it slips down just fine - crisp and creamy with out the overpowering yeasty taste that many sparkling wines have. There are lots of tiny little bubbles that just seem to keep on going - too me half and hour to sip and appreciate my glass and those bubbles just kept on going on :) The winery it comes from is Yearing Station in the Yarra Valley of Victoria.
