Pet Nat

Pet Nat, short for petillant naturel, is sparkling wine made using the oldest method around: bottling the wine before primary fermentation finishes, so the trapped carbon dioxide creates natural, gentle bubbles without any added sugar or a second fermentation. The result tends to be lower in alcohol and less polished than traditional-method sparkling wine, often slightly cloudy, sometimes a little funky, and always more unpredictable from bottle to bottle. That rustic, hands-off character has made it a favourite among natural wine drinkers looking for something more playful than Champagne or Prosecco. If you'd like to compare against a more controlled approach to sparkling wine, Methode Traditionnelle is worth a look. For sparkling wine more broadly, Sparkling Wine covers every style we carry.
