Bajta rose Modra Frankinja
Styria, Slovenia
TGIF!! We’re springing into the weekend with some Pét-Nat, an abbreviation for Pétillant Naturel. This one is made from 100% Blaufränkisch grapes 🍇, in a rosé style, hailing from the Haloze Hills of Lower Styron (Štajerska), Slovenia. 🇸🇮
Pétillant Natural, meaning ‘naturally sparkling’ in French, is a sparkling wine that was bottled and sealed during the fermentation process (prior to its completion) aided by wild, naturally occurring yeasts (no additives).
The fermentation process produces carbon dioxide, among other things like alcohol and heat, causing bubbles (from the CO2) to get trapped in the bottle. 🍾
Pét-Nat tends to be a lighter, fresher, more fruit-forward, and youthful version of other sparkling wines, especially compared to Champagne. It’s meant to be consumed young.
The bubble intensity of Pét-Nat tends to be less than Champagne, too, resembling more of a sparkling cider or beer, at least to me. 🍻
This wine is a beautiful peach hue, with a delicate haze, and has aromas and flavors of raspberry, strawberry, cherry blossom, wet stone, sourdough, beer, and almond paste. 💕👌👍
It’s dry, refreshing, and lively and offers delicate bubbles. In sum: it’s delish! 😋

Jan 24th, 2021Pet Nat rosé. A beautiful salmon color with a hard candy nose... strawberry, cherry and watermelon jolly ranchers. More dry on the palate but still some fruitiness, and lingering minerals. Get to Know Pet Nat class.
Mild aromas of apple skins, light on the palate with light effervescence and apple skins, a slight sweetness and some lingering minerality.

Mostly love this for how fun it is to drink, especially in the early spring. Summer picnic on the nose - citrus/strawberry punch, salt, crisp. Tastes like ruby red grapefruit and strawberries (specifically those strawberry candies with the gooey center) with a hard punch from the carbonation and bitter end notes. Tastes like childhood and maturity all at once - nostalgia in a glass during a summer sunset. I would buy this for a summer wedding over champagne. Initially heavy carbonation, tapers off after a bit.
