Wine Making
Wine Making
Pt Nat references Pét-Nat, short for Pétillant Naturel (meaning naturally sparkling). Made the old-fashioned way by the ‘'método antigo' or, in French, méthode ancestrale, wines are bottled before they have been fermented to dryness. The residual sugar left in the wine allows it to continue fermenting and producing carbon dioxide (which creates the bubbles). Unlike most Champagne, there is no need to add yeast and sugar to induce a second fermentation in bottle. Nor are the spent yeast cells removed. That’s what produces the natural cloudiness, sometimes sediment. This is a super natural wine!
