Description

This Pét-Nat, or Pétillant Naturel is made from Pinot Gris grapes. They are whole-cluster pressed and fermented with indigenous yeasts in stainless steel tanks. The wine is bottled while still sweet, at 2.5 g l RS; fermentation continues in the bottle. Cloudy, with tiny bubbles, this Pét-Nat is currently off-dry, with a mouthwatering finish. A living product, it will continue to ferment for months to come and evolve over time in bottle. It carries notes of lychee, lilac and Spring honeycomb. Layers of rose, melon rind and citrus foam belay a tart russet pear flavor core. 12.5% alcohol. 118 cases produced.

The gorgeous label is the work of Arthur Rackham (1867-1939), a leading figure during the Golden Age of British book illustration.
