Pét Nat, short for Pétillant Naturel, is French for "natural sparkling." This method of making sparkling wine pre-dates the traditional champagne method, and instead transfers wine that is still in its first fermentation to the bottle, which allows the native yeast to continue fermentation within the bottle to produce carbon dioxide which creates the delicious bubbles we all love.
Passion fruit and Bing cherry come off the nose of this wine with a distinctive, wet gravel minerality. The palate on this wine evokes a traditional Champagne in weight and fineness of bubbles; however, the easy-drinking, fruit-forward youth of the wine makes it very quaffable.
