Notes & Pairings
Their first pét-nat was 2015, so there’s been a nice run of trial and error. Bottled with around 15 g/l of RS, it’s a pleasant and persistent 3.1 bars of pressure. After multiple harvest passes, all of the grapes were slowly co-fermented and aged in stainless steel. The combination of 50+ year old Rieslingssilvani (aka Müller-Thurgau), Királyleányka (Leányka x Kövérszőlő), Chardonnay and Olaszrizling give it a wonderful balance of ripe acids, aromatics, texture, and despite the hot year, ended up at only 11.8% and dry. Bottled unfiltered with zero additions. Total production, 1000 bottles.
