Pépin Pet Nat is a natural wine crafted by Pépin, in the Alsace region in France. This sparkling wine is made with Ugni Blanc, Picpoul, Muscat and Chardonnay grapes, which are grown on clay-limestone soils.
In the winery, this wine sees a light four-day maceration of the destemmed grapes with indigenous yeast, of course. Aging takes place in stainless steel tanks for ten months before disgorging.
Tropical, citrussy, salty and very fresh and a hint of meadow flowers, banana, herbs.
