PetNat „oh when the saints“ 2023

Wine description for PetNat „oh when the saints“ 2023 by Heinrich

Colour & Appearance

Hazy apricot with fine, lively mousse – the natural Méthode Ancestrale reveals itself here in all its unadorned beauty. A Pet Nat that doesn’t deny its origins.

Nose

Juicy and inviting: mirabelle plums, oranges and ripe apples dominate initially, accompanied by wine yeast and a hint of ginger. With air contact, floral aromas, hay and subtle anise unfold – an aromatic kaleidoscope that promises pure drinking pleasure.

Palate

Delightfully juicy with fine fruit sweetness and creamy texture. Invigorating citrus fruit meets yeasty freshness, whilst a peppery tannin structure provides tension. At just 10.5% alcohol, a playfully light wine that invites you to keep drinking – dangerously good!

Finish

Refreshing and engaging with lingering citrus notes and fine yeasty spice. Not a monumental finale, but a charming fade that immediately calls for the next sip.

Terroir & Origin

Sankt Laurent from mica schist on Lake Neusiedl – an unusual combination that gives this Pet Nat its mineral freshness and structure. Burgenland shows its experimental side here.

Grape Variety & Vinification

100% Sankt Laurent, hand-harvested in early September. Whole bunch pressing and spontaneous fermentation using the Méthode Ancestrale – the bottle fermentation is left without disgorging, which gives the wine its natural haze and vibrancy.

Food Pairing Suggestions

Perfect with evening snacks, cold cuts and cheese boards. Also a delight with flammkuchen, quiche or light summer dishes. Works brilliantly as an aperitif and accompanies convivial gatherings well into the night.

Special Characteristics

With its low alcohol content and natural vinification, this Pet Nat embodies the zeitgeist: drink-inducing, honest and uncomplicated. A wine that’s fun without taking itself seriously – exactly what a good Pet Nat should deliver.
