Pierre Weber
Le Pet' Nat 2020

Pierres macerated Alsatian pet nat. I never imagined I’d write that sentence but we are entering a new paradigm of winemaking, where it seems, anything is possible. A blend of chardonnay, sylvaner and pinot blanc harvested at the same time before they see a gentle 3 day maceration on skins.

The finished wine is beautifully ripe and expressive, on the tasting wheel we might call it ‘butterscotch’, the acidity is moreish and the texture, waxy. All in all this is a really well put together orange sparkling wine that just hits differently to all the others jumping aboard the trend train.
