Description

Wildman Astro Bunny Pét-Nat 2022

Wildman Astro Bunny is such a fun wine! So far out of mainstream, it's got a cartoon of a stoned rabbit on the label. Nectarine orange colour. Explosive peachy and floral aromas. Frothy mouthfuls of pink grapefruit and zingy lime with a smashable wetness that provides great gluggability.

30% Zibibbo, 26% Fiano, 24% Arneis, 17% Nero d'Avola and 3% Mataro. The fruit comes from South Australian vineyards in Adelaide Hills, Mclaren Vale and Riverland.

24 hours skin contact.

Pétillant-Naturel (natural sparkling) is an ancient, natural form of fizzy wine which is bottled before the completion of primary fermentation.

Chill down, gently turn the bottle upside down to mix in the fine sediment before opening!

Youthful & Spritzy Sparklings

Light, citrus driven & fun, a lot of these sparklings tend to have floral or tree fruit aromas like green apples. In more crisp styles, they are often more floral or citrus driven, and can be slightly sweet in more apple or pear driven fizzante styles

Ancestral Method

Also known as Petillant Naturel, it's the oldest version of sparkling wine making, and involves bottling the wine before fermentation has finished. A single fermentation is applied, trapping carbon dioxide to create natural carbonation.
This results in a little less control, and wines can sometimes come across a less refined compare to the traditional champagne method, and sometimes tends to have a slightly more beer-ish or cider-ish taste
