Petillant Naturel, or Pet Nat is a natural sparkling wine that is rapidly gaining popularity among wine enthusiasts. Unlike traditional sparkling wines like Champagne, Cava, or Prosecco, which undergo a secondary fermentation in the bottle with added sugars and yeasts, Pet Nat is bottled during the primary fermentation process. This method results in a gentle, natural effervescence that is less predictable but often more vibrant and expressive. Pet Nat wines are typically unfiltered, which gives them their characteristic cloudiness and a raw, rustic appeal.
Though often considered a “new style” of winemaking, Pet Nat is actually rooted in one of the oldest known methods, dating back centuries.
Its spontaneous, hands-off approach captures the essence of the grape and the terroir with minimal intervention.
All the delicious notes of Šipon are present, but due to the bottle fermentation, you’ll also taste hints of remaining yeasts. Flavors like citrus and fruit take the forefront, with hidden notes of fresh bread, cookies, and even beer-like undertones.
