Pet Nat Catawba

2017 -
Great to see Catawba in a good expression. I’m sure it helps to have a MS involved. Green apple, astringent bone-dry, crystalline, and possessing a uniquely new-world minerality. Amazing

Lovely color, dry and acidic without losing fruit.

Not what I expected at all - actually surprisingly savory. Strange grape

Pure strawberry essence dancing in the glass.

Super fruit forward , strawberries all the way. Slight effervescence. Tannins and acidity nicely calling for balance on the palate.

Pétillant Naturel made with Catawba, an indigenous variety from the Finger Lakes. Quite exuberant, fragrant nose with non-vinifera varieties’ signature grapey, foxy notes (smells like Concord grapes). Lemon, green apple flavors. High acidity. Tasty, very refreshing. Slightly mineral finish. Drinks like lemonade

The 2019 was a stunner and more complex - 2020 was good but less surprising. White peach on the nose. Lightly floral and delicate.

Dreamy pet nat with beautiful color. Right amount of refreshing acidity to balance fruit

Sour and delicious

Zesty pineapple and lime in the nose, with a little grape, mouthwatering acidity, pretty fine bubbles, with a crazy long finish for pet nat

Fun, geeky wine. A little sweet but not juicy. Crisp and effervescent.
