Joe & Bertie Pet Nat is a natural wine crafted by Chateau de la Jaubertie, in the Bergerac region in France. This sparkling Pet Nat wine is made with 60% Sauvignon Blanc and 40% Sémillon grapes. The domain is usually making more classic wines, and have this range for their no added sulphites natural wine production, which we find INCREDIBLE value
Expect a herbal and soft bitter touch which keeps this white sparkling wine very refreshing. A nice creamyness on the finish make this really great!
In addition to this, the acidity is not high, making this ideal for those not wanting too much acidity in their wines :)
Joe and Berties Pet Nat Winemaking Notes
The grapes are harvested mechanically overnight to prevent oxidation, then cooled and pressed at 0.8 bar. No sulphur is added, the juice is clarified naturally and then begins to ferment. When only around 16g/l of sugar remains, we chill the wine to 5°C to stop fermentation. A few weeks later, the wine is reseeded with yeast and bottled. Fermentation starts again after 3-4 weeks and completes the transformation of the sugars.
Chateau de la Jaubertie tasting notes:
Pale yellow-green, crisp, with notes of exotic herbaceous fruit and yellow fruit, with a touch of green apple. Fine bubbles, well-balanced, clean and long on the palate. Drink as an aperitif or with raw fish.
