Pet Nat - natural sparkling wine, this made from Chenin Blanc. Essentially bottling fermenting wine before it has finished, resulting in a delicious cross between wine and grape juice, simple and pure with refreshing flavours and lower alcohol.
The wine is cloudy, a bit like apple juice or a cider, recently made, refreshing and simply smashable with just the right amount of fizz. This is off dry with just the right amount of acidity. Chill it, open it and drink it - never mind the spritzer use an ice cube, whatever - this is the drink for summer.
Quality is consistent. Deeper bouquet and flavor than most Cali Zins. The Earth tones come thru beautifully about two years from Vintage. Wonderful
Red to contemplate on its own or with good food.
chianti at a good price- good value for everyday drinking
Not quite in same class as recent chianti from Wine Direct released earlier this year-but also half the price. Excellent value for a red wine: you don't have to worry about finding a superior food to match at this excellent price.
Hard pushed to find a NZ red at this price/quality ratio!
