Haywire The Bub Méthode Traditionelle 2011
Oliver, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaThe Bub might be an obvious name for bubbles, but it's more than just descriptive. The wine was made in honour of OCP's Alison Scholefield, whose first sip as a babe was sparkling wine. As a child, she went by The Bub, Bubba, Alibubba, and the Bubster, though (thankfully) today she prefers Alison. The Bub 2011 is chardonnay and pinot noir, from a cooler mountain vineyard near Oliver, and pours a foamy flute of apple, stone, pear skin, and light eraser rubbings on the nose, along with tart white peach and crisp lemon in the mouth. Baked apple notes seal the finish and a crown cap seals in the freshness. Pour with mussels, salads, canapés.Tasted: 26 December 2014Tasted by: Prices:| BC | $25.00 | 750ml | winery direct, select VQA and private wine stores |
