Winemakers Notes - The Grenache for this Petilliant Naturale (Pet Nat for short) was hand-picked. This fruit was tipped into the press where only the most delicate free-run juice was retained, the wine was left to settle for 24 hours with no additions. The still cloudy juice was racked off of the solids and into old wooden casks for fermentation. The juice was kept below 14C to ensure the natural fermentation locked in the fresh, vibrant fruit characters. Once fermentation was almost complete we gravity fed the juice into bottles, where the final few grams of sugar were fermented creating the natural effervescence. Only 4500 bottles were made.

Food Pairing - Prawn Cocktail or Hazelnut Torte
