For as long as we can remember, we have been asked: "when are you guys going to make a Pet-Nat?" To be honest, we had - with quite extreme results - and we've been a little bit scarred from the experience. But after 9 years, like a phoenix that rises from the ashes, we rise like bubbles in sparkling wine. Introducing: Sea Foam - Our First Release of Pet Nat. Of course, if we were going to do a pet nat, it was going to be Fiano, and it's worked out an absolute treat. All bright tropical fruits and poached pears, with a sea-spray like saltiness like you've just popped out of the ocean on a summer day. A lush and truly joyous thing to drink.
This wine tastes like a fun boozy afternoon filled with sunshine! Do not love the smell but the taste is amazingly refreshing and delicious.
Fresh and spritzy, not so complex but doesn't suffer for it! Lovely fine bubble.
If you're new to Pet Nats, you might be taken aback by this sneaky little number.
It's sparkling like champagne but cloudy like cider, and its taste is a mix of both.
Refreshing sparkle, undertones of soft pear, subtle passionfruit and suggestions of lemon greet the first few sips. As it rolls around the mouth it produces a momentary beer-ish feeling before going back to its baby wine flavour and finishes with a tingle. It is complex yet the name "Sea Foam" is completely fitting; it is asif stumbling out of the waves after a long surf sesh, your senses heightened and tingling with sand and zing. Refreshingly different, cleansing and new.
