WINEMAKING WIZARDRY
It's bottled before primary fermentation is complete, with no added yeasts or sugars - the fermentation finishes in the bottle, creating its natural sparkle. The wine is not disgorged, meaning the lees (spent yeast cells) remain in the bottle, contributing to its texture and appealing cloudy appearance. It's also unfined and unfiltered with minimal sulphur additions, a true minimal intervention wine.
STYLE
This is a Pétillant Naturel (Pet Nat), a traditional and ancient method of making sparkling wine. It's naturally fizzy and distinctive.

COMPOSITION
The winemaker is mysterious about the grapes he uses.
REGION
South Africa, Swartland, Paardeberg.
