Petillant
Naturel (Pét-Nat) style sparkling wines have been making a comeback in recent
years. This ancient method of creating sparkling
wines seems to have found its niche in the Texas wine industry. Saint Tryphon used Orange Muscat for their 2018
Pét-Nat. There is a cloudiness associated
with this style of winemaking but do not let that dissuade you. This does not
detract from the overall quality of any aromas or flavors. Besides the unique cloudiness to the bubbly,
the zesty aromas of orange peel do stand out on the nose. Tropical notes come
through as enjoy your first sip. There
is also a “honey like” association to the tasting profile. Most enjoyable is
that continuous fizzing of bubbles that will certainly excite your palate. This is an easy wine to enjoy any time of day
and is very refreshing. Cheers!
