Wine Description
Pét Nat is a sparkling wine produced with only one fermentation. The must is bottled while it is still fermenting (we think it is a really cool idea to use flip-top bottles, which are usually only used for beer). The must complete the fermentation process in the bottle, thereby developing a natural effervescence. Every bottle of Raw White retains its yeast (which gives more flavour) and no sulphur is added – there is no need for it. It tastes moreish, fruity, and brings great atmosphere and fun to the table. Pretty much like a nice cold beer at a barbecue, but in the form of wine. The bottle can be closed again, but our advice is to simply finish it.
