Description

AJ Hoadley doesn’t like rules, and Spunk Nat is him at his most playful. In 2024 he grabbed Riesling from Frankland River, tossed in a splash of Shiraz from Mount Barker, let them spend a couple of days on skins and then co-fermented the lot. Bottled mid-ferment, it’s pét-nat done the La Violetta way – wild, fizzy and full of character.

It’s bright and juicy with fine bubbles, a little savoury twist from the Shiraz and Riesling’s trademark tang keeping it refreshing. Left undisgorged, you’ll find a bit of haze and sediment, but that’s just part of the fun.

Easygoing, a bit cheeky, and perfect for warm days and good company – it’s the kind of wine that doesn’t hang around once opened.

    A delightful summer drink!

    A perfect combo of fizz, tange and tart. Went beautifully with our salmon dish and summer salads. Would definitely buy again. The La Violeta wines don’t disappoint.

    Thanks Luke! La Violetta is truly a Pet Nat master. Love this wine, and perfect Summer drink. Cheers :)

Vintage: 2024

Tasting notes: Bright, fresh and just a little bit cheeky. Expect lifted aromas of early spring strawberries, wildflowers and citrus peel. The palate is lively and textured - fine, gentle bubbles carrying those fruit flavours alongside Great Southern Riesling’s trademark acidity. There’s a subtle leesy creaminess and a delicate kiss of residual sweetness (3–4 g/L) that rounds it all out. It’s playful but balanced, and thanks to the lees, it’ll keep evolving nicely in bottle for a few years.

Winemaker’s notes: Spunk Nat is our ode to pét-nat frivolity, Great Southern style. Two serious sites come together to make something fun and seriously drinkable. Frankland River Riesling (90%) and Mount Barker Shiraz (10%) were given a couple of days on skins to build colour, aromatics and gentle texture before being pressed off and co-fermented wild. Timing is everything with pet nat: we bottled at just the right moment to catch the last breath of fermentation, creating a gentle, natural fizz.

The wine was carefully racked to keep sediment low, but as always with undisgorged pét nat, you’ll find a bit of fine sediment and natural tartrate crystals in the bottle. No fining, no filtration, just honest, playful sparkling wine. The 2024 release is bright, fresh and well-behaved in the glass - perfect for warm days, good friends and letting the good times roll.

La Violetta

Few winemakers bring as much creativity and flair to their label as the mercurial Andrew Hoadley.

With a mischievous, child-like joy, he has set about crafting La Violetta, one of the most fascinating wine ranges in Western Australia, and indeed, the country.

His wines are inspiring, each a creation all of its own. With a mix of single vineyard, single varietal wines and some exotic blends, these are some of the most thought-provoking wines in the West.
