Dry Hop Pet Nat

Field Recordings' puts a modern spin on traditional techniques by fermenting  chardonnay grapes with hops to produce their Dry Hop Pet Nat.  Delivering aromas of grapefruit, pear and crisp apple with bright acidity and a dry finish, this wine is perfect with tinned fish, roasted vegetables or a summer salad. Pét-nats (from the French pétillant naturel) are sparkling wines made in a manner that predates the so-called “traditional method” used in Champagne (and for most other sparkling wines). Rather than induce a second fermentation in the bottle to create the bubbles, as Champagne producers do, makers of pét-nat simply bottle the wine before the initial fermentation has ended. The result is softly fizzy, sometimes lightly sweet from residual grape sugars, usually hazy with unfiltered yeast particles, and typically sealed with a crown cap instead of a cork. 100% chardonnay 11.4% ABV Organic 750ml Paso Robles
