Nicely following a GnT, a Pet' Nat' from Adelaide Hills based BK Wines - bruised apple, citrus; coarser palate - fresh and energetic.

This is the first bottle in the TC Wine Box this month. If you're waiting on your order or about to order then you definitely have something to look forward to! This BK Petillant Naturel 2015 Sparkling Chardonnay is made by Brendan & Kirstyn Keys in the Adelaide Hills. BK Wines is all about good wine, music, skateboarding and pretty much just everything cool - check them out on Instagram @bkwines
Petillant Naturel in French means “mildly, naturally sparkling”. 'Pet Nat' sparklings have a small but dedicated cult following around the world and are made in a completely different way to Champagne or Prosecco hence why they have a rather cloudy appearance.
Basically for Pet Nats the fermentation process is stopped before all the natural sugar has been consumed and then put into a bottle and fitted with a crown cap closure to finish off fermentation. As a result, extra carbon dioxide is produced as the yeast eats the sugar and gets trapped in the bottle to produce the fizz. You'll notice when you open the bottle and pour this vino it's ultra frothy and literally erupting to get out of the bottle and into your mouth.
So what's it like?? Well it looks a little bit like ginger beer once all the froth settles down. On the nose it smells of apple sherbet and pear juice. In the mouth it has an upfront vibrancy which transcends into an ultra smooth finish. It's like cloudy apple juice mixed with lemonade and has an adult friendly alcoholic silver lining. Mmm I could see how lobster would go well with it but between you and me, good old fish'n'chips is also a rather tasty match 😜

Cloudy and foamy. Sweet start, creamy finish. Bit apple-y for me, but solid. Burps a Holiday Mild.

SUPER Carbonated apple juice, maybe a little pear. Reminds me of a Riesling. Overall really fun Pet-nat.
