Pet Nat - natural sparkling wine, this one made from Chenin Blanc. Essentially bottling fermenting wine before it has finished, resulting in a delicious cross between wine and grape juice, simple and pure with refreshing flavours and lower alcohol. The wine is cloudy, a bit like apple juice or a cider, recently made, refreshing and simply smashable with just the right amount of fizz. This is off dry with just the right amount of acidity. Chill it, open it and drink it - never mind the spritzer use an ice cube, whatever - this is the drink for summer.
I haven’t tried every bottle in this selection yet, however, so far they are all very tasty. I’m a Chardonnay lover, always on the look out for a dryish not sweet wine and these are just right for me. An excellent mixed case and we’ll priced.
This was a very nice surprise in Wine Direct’s very welcome Plenty Under $20 category. Beautifully fruity, rich and smooth. Often the Plenty Under $20 range is a little light for the depth I like but I will definitely be reordering this one.
A great summer wine… elegant and a fine balance of lighter fruit and delicate acidity with a nice dry finish. Very drinkable with or without food. A nice change from our usual unoaked French Chardonnay
