Bright golden straw with a lovely fine bead. Only the light cloudiness gives away the Pet Nat style.
Classic bright yellow skinned Chardonnay fruits of grapefruit, lemon and apple with a light yellow floral lift and some lees complexity, more from the 6 months in barrel than time in bottle. Very pretty for Pet Nat.
Super silky entry. Tiny bubbles for Pet Nat, but the perfect amount of fizz. Bright acidity highlights the fresh lemon, grapefruit, apple and pear fruits with the slippery appeal making it very hard to stop." - Winemakers notes
