PÉT-NAT Lía - Nivarius

What is Pet-Nat? Pet-Nat is a slightly sparkling so-called natural wine that was produced using the “Ancestral” method. In the “Metódo Ancestral”, the sugar, which is important for alcohol production, comes entirely from grapes. The grape must therefore have reached a perfect degree of ripeness before it is harvested and therefore different from the “Champenoise” method. As already mentioned, the main difference between the two lies in the addition or not addition of sugar. The Ancestral method consists of bottling the wine in the middle of fermentation and letting it end in the bottle. As a result, the gas produced at the end of fermentation does not escape and becomes the bubbles of the wine. In contrast, the champenoise method consists of bottling an already fermented still wine and adding sugar and yeast so that a second fermentation can take place in the bottle, completely independent of the first. The color is pink with pale orange reflections. In the nose, hints of apple, pear and wild strawberries. Refreshing on the palate with notes of wild fruits and pome fruit. Well balanced and very pleasant aftertaste.
