Why save the sparkling wine for just midnight on New Year's Eve when you can have it year-round? With 2022 already off to an unpredictable start we could all use some positivity and something to add a bit of sparkle to our day — and who says that can't be wine?
The newest additions to Traynor's Pét-Nat line up are all about being playful, having a bit of fun, with a dash of nostalgia to bring you back to lighter and brighter days.
A lightly sparkling Pét-Nat made of 100% Vidal grapes that was originally intended to be a Vinho Verde style white wine, but Mike and Richard loved the aromatic profile on the wine so much during fermentation, they decided to accelerate the process and bottle the wine as a Pét-Nat instead. This wine can transport you out of the depths of winter with notes of Bosc pear, crab apple and candy floss. There's a subtle nectarine finish that rounds out the wine and makes it perfect for easy sipping.
This wine was quite literally made up as Mike and Richard went along, rolling with the punches of harvest and what the grapes had to offer. A bubbly made up of 50% Gamay Noir and 50% Baco Noir, originally intended to be an affordable Lambrusco-style wine. The result: a light, fun sparkling wine with an interesting dense purple colour. Notes of blackberry, cherry and sage bring you back to warmer days, and finishes with cranberry and notes of thyme.
If you're a fan of Pét-Nats, the classics that got us through 2021 are also still available — Chill Thrill (white), Bang Bang (rosé), and Lightning Fizz (red).
