Notes & Pairings
The nickname for Péter in Hungary is Péti. Since there are two Péters involved with this wine they went ahead with “Peti-nát.” Péter Bónis owns the Monastery cellar where this wine was made along with the license to make sparkling wines. Peter Wetzer supplies the fruit from the Kogl Vineyard and they make the wine together. Planted in the early 1970s, the Kogl Kékfrankos grows in schist ridden rocky soils. The 2020 was made like a brut rože with 5-6 hours of skin contact. The monastery cellars are cooler than Wetzer’s cellar, so fermentation is a bit slower, but always comes around. Bottled by gravity, unfiltered, no disgorgement (very little sediment), and without any additions. Only 900 bottles produced a year.
