The 2023 Curveball is a field blend of Malbec, Cabernet Franc, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Petit Verdot planted at our Sconni Block Estate Vineyard. Pétillant Naturel, or as the cool kids call it, Pét-Nat for short. It’s the ultimate in Lo-Fi winemaking and is the oldest tradition of making bubbles called the Ancestral Method. Pétillant Naturel translates quite literally to “slightly bubbly” and “low intervention” making it a perfect candidate for natural winemaking. Actively fermenting wine is bottled, capped and left to finish fermenting in the bottle. Therefore, all the Carbon Dioxide gas produced while finishing fermentation is captured in the finished wine along with a little sediment. This also adds to the charm of the individual bottles varying slightly in the amount of bubbles produced = unpredictable pleasure! Place in your refrigerator cap up, and chill before drinking.
