Description

There's not much to say about this wine except that if you dig Pet Nat, you'll really dig this.

Anton Von Klopper is one of the country's flagbearers when it comes to natural wine, so it makes sense he'd have a good grip on this hugely popular style. Don't be fooled by the name, either, this is 100% Sauvignon Blanc.

It's clean as a whistle, full of ripe stone fruit flavours, with a floral twist and really good fizz... Picnics looks out!

    Deliciously balanced pet nat

    An absolute winner for summer, get your hands on it before it disappears. Not too sweet like many Australian pet nats.

The Farm: Robert Surmann’s vineyard in Totness with 30-year-old vines grown on black sandy soil overlying petrified schist. It is VSP-trained and spur-pruned.

How the wine is made: The grapes are destemmed and left to rest for four days, allowing the juice to soak up the flavour, colour and a little tannin from the skins. It is then pressed into 680-litre ceramic eggs and ferments for two weeks until there is the perfect amount of sugar to finish in bottle with a good level of spritz. It is then aged on lees in bottle for five months before disgorgement.

Notes: A cupric tinge of rose gold, toasty precious precision bubbling over your tongue. It has a delicate palate for a night out with style. Think beluga and bellini and Fellini!
