2020 As If "Gratitude" Pét-Nat, Half Bottle

Tasting Notes

Our half bottles are the perfect size for if you and a friend each want a glass but don’t want to open an entire whole bottle of bubbly! The 2020 Gratitude is zesty and floral, but also full-bodied. If you love natural, unrefined wines with body, you’ll love this wine.

Process

Pétillant-Naturel, or "natural sparkling", is made in a simple method that was the way sparkling wine was produced before the development of the modern Champagne method.  A pét-nat is bottled just at the end of the first fermentation (as opposed to a Champagne method, where the first ferment is completed prior to transfer to the bottle for a second ferment inside it), which captures the bubbles produced by the yeast.

Varietals

Pinot Gris, Gewurztraminer, Sauvignon Blanc
