2021 VALDIGUIÈ PET-NAT
Our Pet-Nat of Valdiguié was harvested in the early morning hours of August 22nd, 2021 from the historic French Camp vineyard outside of Paso Robles California. The fruit was picked at 22 brix, showcasing vibrant acidity and bright fruit characteristics right off the cuff. The grapes were de-stemmed and went through a 36 hour maceration to extract an energetic shade of pink and pretty texture from the skins. Upon press, the juice went through a 12 day, temperature controlled fermentation to preserve delicate aromatics. The wine was bottled September 5th at 1.2 brix, finishing its primary fermentation in bottle using the reliably unpredictable Méthode Ancestrale. Upon disgorging the wine in the early summer of ’22 we discovered our Pet-Nat of Valdiguié to showcase candied fruit characteristics, a light pink mousse and a supple finish with an integrated tannin profile. A light effervescence makes this a perfect beverage to enjoy in the park on a summer afternoon, or after a long day spent recreating in the mountains.
