Friday calls for some bubbles – don’t you agree? And what better way to celebrate the end of the week with a delicious sparkling wine from Victoria? Well, this Save Our Souls Bubbles & Co BC3 should definitely be on your radar. It is made using Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc from the Yarra Valley, and Vermentino from Merbein. If you haven’t heard of it, Merbein is a small town near Mildura in Victoria. I was excited to try something different from the classic Champagne grapes. My gosh did this wine deliver.
The Save Our Souls Bubbles & Co BC3 used a combination of tank and barrel-fermented wine from 2017 and a dash of 2016 for complexity. I loved how many flavours I got from this Sparkling Wine. Each sip unpacked something different. My only negative comment was that I ran out too quickly! It was almost too good to share with friends. But I’m glad I did because it is the perfect wine for enjoying with the people you love. And I mean love, don’t share this one with just anyone!
The wine itself is riched and textured with beautiful toasty notes along with fresh fruit and crisp acidity. Apple and pear along with toasty croissant. This paired with a dash of honey came through in the palate, and it was a delight to sip. I loved how balanced this wine was from start to finish, offering complexity you don’t normally see in the $27 bottle.
I am a big fan of Save Our Souls (we served their wines at our wedding) and now I’m even more in love. Thanks for sharing this with me to try!
