Tasting Notes: Made from 85% Pinot Noir and 15% Sauvignon Blanc. It is 100% handpicked from New Era Vineyards to produce a delicate style of Pet Nat. Displays strawberries, raspberries, tropical fruits, and a little spice to finish.
Food Matches: This wine is best served as an aperitif or alternatively would perfectly accompany an assortment of soft cheeses with my favourite being Udder Delights Triple Cream Brie.
Winemaking Notes: 2 tonnes of Pinot Noir and 1 tonne of Sauvignon Blanc was hand selected and picked from New Era Vineyards at Pfieffer Rd Woodside. After arriving at the winery, it was destemmed and then delicately pressed before being sent to tank to settle for 48 hours, after this period of time it was racked and warmed to 18 degrees’ to naturally start fermenting using its own yeast. At exactly the right time fermentation was stopped by chilling to just above freezing leaving the appropriate levels of residual sugar to conduct secondary fermentation in bottle when needed. The partially fermented Pet Nat was then disgorged into bottle and sealed with a crown seal, this was then left for the next six months to warm and finish secondary fermentation in bottle creating the Co2 (bubbles) before being labelling and released.
The artwork has been created and designed in collaboration with Todd Engelsma as a fun depiction of the New Era Vineyards Pfeiffer Rd property at Woodside and the flora and fauna that share the land with us.
