2021 Express Winemakers La Nina Pet Nat

A Rosé Pet Nat destined for afternoons of BBQs with friends, chips, dip and charcuterie boards not made for instagram. This fizz is aromatic, with notes of blackberry and white flowers and blood orange. Delicious. 

A petillant naturel wine named for the weather pattern that helped its creation. The Riesling (95%) from the Toolbrunup Vineyard in Porongurup was picked early to salvage the fruit before another rain event wiped it out completely, while the Cabernet Franc (5%) was sourced from the Merrebee Vineyard in Mount Barker. All the fruit was hand-picked, the Riesling destemmed and pressed directly to tank. This was blended with the Cabernet Franc juice post-fermentation then bottled using the ancestral method.
