J+K Vineyard, Ballard Canyon AVA - 13% abv Pét-Nat is a true passion project for Dusty Nabor as they made about 5 cases of this vintage. It follows the same process as their rosé; direct, whole cluster pressed with no skin contact and fermented in stainless steel tanks. Where this sparkling wine differs though, is when they bottle right before the wine goes dry to allow the fermentation to continue in-bottle and create the wonderful bubbles. The wine is disgorged to keep it clean and make sure no bottles explode once they've left their hands and head to you.
Tasting Notes: Orange and tangerine coupled with wonderful dry herbs and a salty/brininess on the nose. The palate is beautifully effervescent and clean, making this wine a gorgeous palate cleanser.
