BinTwo’s Fizzy Bum Bum #5 is the fifth edition of our very own sparkling wine. Crisp, fresh and very lively. A riot of grapefruit and pineapple flavours. Is it a serious highbrow wine? No. Is it delicious and a whole lot of fun? Absolutely. Do NOT cellar this wine for years. Chill it and drink it with people you like.
FBB has grown up a little from it’s roots as a Pet Nat. Last year we made FBB#4 using the secondary fermentation method and it was such an hit that we’ve done it again for FBB#5! Taking the same secondary fermentation process used in Champagne and English Sparkling Wine gives us a lot more control and more predictable results. It also allows more time to work with the base wine to get it into a happy place. This year FBB#5 was made from start to finish in a stainless steel tank to produce a livelier, brighter, fruitier wine. Once bottled we let FBB#5 rest on the lees for six months to lend a bit of body. Somewhere along the way the wine picked up a lovely honeyed note that we rather liked and we disgorged all 640 bottles to catch that sweet spot. Producing a sparkling wine through secondary fermentation is a lot more work, but we think the results are worth it and we hope you agree.
As ever, we’re grateful as ever to Clive and Lisa from Halfpenny Green Vineyard (who just so happen to be customers at BinTwo) for selling us a tonne of super clean of Solaris to make FBB#5. We couldn’t do it without you guys - thanks for your patience. I know the little customers are always more work!
Just 640 bottles made making it (by this questionable measure at least) the most exclusive sparkling wine in the country…
Why ‘Fizzy Bum Bum? It’s all down to a little microorganism - the small amount of yeast that we added to kick start our fermentation. A super-yeast capable of such wizardry deserves a grand title. Sadly, its name is Bum Bum. Life isn’t always fair. To compensate for this injustice, we honoured our yeasty friend by naming our wine ‘Fizzy Bum Bum’. Plus - love it or loathe it - it’s not a name you’ll forget in a hurry…
