Force Celeste Cuvèe PN Petnat
THIS NATURALLY MADE CUVÈE PN PETNAT FROM SWARTLAND, SOUTH AFRICA, IS A SPARKLING WINE MADE MOSTLY FROM CHENIN BLANC WITH A SMALL AMOUNT OF CINSAULT, REFLECTING A SEASON THAT STARTED WITH A WET WINTER AND ENDED WITH A HOT, DRY SUMMER THAT REQUIRED CAREFUL HAND SELECTION OF RIPE, SUN-EXPOSED GRAPES. WE HAND-PICKED, CHILLED, AND SORTED THE GRAPES BEFORE GENTLY WHOLE-BUNCH PRESSING THEM. NATURAL WILD YEASTS THEN FERMENTED THE JUICE WITH MINIMAL INTERVENTION TO PRESERVE ITS PURE CHARACTER.
WE BOTTLED THIS WINE WHILE IT WAS STILL FERMENTING TO CREATE ITS NATURAL BUBBLES. WE ADDED NO SULPHUR AND USED NO FINING, FILTRATION, OR DISGORGEMENT, CREATING A FRESH, LIGHTLY SPARKLING WINE WITH VIBRANT FRUIT, GENTLE TEXTURE, AND A PURE, UNALTERED EXPRESSION OF THE VINEYARD.
