✨ Technical Specifications
A playful and joyous creation from Bedrock Wine Co., 'Sh'Bubbles' is a sparkling rosé named in honor of winemaker Morgan Twain-Peterson's partner, Sarah, whose nickname 'Shub' inspired the moniker. This wine represents a whimsical yet serious approach to California sparkling wine, blending Bedrock's signature devotion to historic, old-vine vineyards with a vibrant, refreshing style. The blend typically draws from ancient California heritage varieties, often anchored by old-vine Carignan, Grenache, and Syrah, occasionally blended with aromatic white varieties like Pinot Gris or Riesling. To preserve the explosive fruit character and bright, mouthwatering acidity, the wine is crafted to emphasize freshness and immediate charm, resulting in a beautifully salmon-hued sparkling rosé filled with notes of wild strawberries, red currants, and citrus zest.
🍾 About the Producer
Established in 2007 by Morgan Twain-Peterson MW—later joined by partner Chris Cottrell—Bedrock Wine Co. began in a converted chicken coop with an urgent viticultural ethos: preserving California's precious heritage vineyards. The winery works closely with ancient, multi-varietal field blends across diverse terroirs, including volcanic, alluvium, granitic, and decomposed limestone parcels spanning Sonoma Valley, Contra Costa County, and the Central Coast. Central to the estate's identity is the historic Bedrock Vineyard, originally planted in 1854, which achieved Regenerative Organic Certification. Bedrock champions dry farming, minimal intervention, and historic head-trained vines. In the cellar, Twain-Peterson employs spontaneous native yeast fermentation, whole-cluster inclusions, and neutral wood, studiously avoiding chemical adjustments or excessive extraction. Beyond its legendary red heritage bottlings, Bedrock crafts benchmark whites and rosés—including the perfumed Compagni Portis Heirloom White, crystalline Wirz Vineyard Riesling, and artisanal expressions of Bien Nacido Chardonnay and Ode to Lulu Rosé—each presenting remarkable tension, saline minerality, and profound historic authenticity.
