Wine Profile
Tasting Notes
This sparkling wine is naturally cloudy and boasts a lively, refreshing effervescence. Its bright, pale greenish-yellow color is inviting. The aroma is intense and intricate, featuring notes of baked apple, ripe peach, pastry crust, and white flowers, complemented by a touch of fennel. On the palate, it delivers a creamy, balanced, and well-structured experience, showcasing flavors of dried fruits, eucalyptus, and citrus zest. The finish is lengthy and enduring.
Vineyard Notes
Nestled at elevations ranging from 100 to 150 meters above sea level in the Valle de San Vicente, the grapes flourish in clay and sandy soils, ripening splendidly in well-balanced vineyards. The moderate yields per hectare result in wines that possess a concentrated character and an intricate aromatic profile.
Production Notes
Pet-Nats are a type of sparkling wine that completes their fermentation within the bottle. Crafted using the Ancestral Method, also known as “Col Fondo,” Pet Nats are typically lively, refreshing, slightly yeasty, and perfectly balanced in fizz.
The grapes are thoughtfully chosen, gently destemmed, and partially crushed to keep many whole berries intact. They undergo a maceration period lasting 15 to 20 days, with daily pump-overs to enhance extraction. Fermentation occurs in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks at 14°C, employing a mix of selected and indigenous yeasts to create complex aromas.
Food Pairing Notes
Infused with freshness, these wines are ideally savored when young and served chilled. They complement salads, charcuterie, and seafood beautifully. If you're considering pairing them with Champagne or a dry white, a pét-nat will likely be a great match too. Don't hesitate to get inventive!
