Greetings, wine lovers
At Traynor Vineyard, we take pride in creating exceptional, innovative, and palate-enticing wines. We're thrilled to introduce Lightning Fizz, our Baco Noir-based red Pet-Nat — the latest evolution of the dry "Lambrusco" style PET-NAT we set out to make. Crafted with precision and passion, this wine is an ode to our dedication to explore and reimagine the limits of winemaking.
Lightning Fizz is a unique expression of wine crafted through the ancestral method. The term "PET-NAT" is short for "pétillant naturel," a French term that translates to naturally sparkling. This method is as old as the hills, yet it's found renewed favor among modern vintners, including us at Traynor Vineyard.
This masterpiece starts its journey with indigenous yeast, and as a testament to our commitment to retaining the natural beauty of the wine, it remains unfined and unfiltered. The result? A wine that echoes the authenticity of its terroir, unmasked and unaltered.
We lightly pressed the grapes for 10 days before leaving them to wild ferment in stainless steel tanks. This vital process continued until the wine reached its optimum level of maturity, ready to be bottled. A characteristic feature of this wine is the trapping of carbonation, a result of using the ancestral method. The wine, thus bottled, was left to ferment for approximately two more months, allowing it to develop a unique and mesmerizing effervescence.
Upon pouring, our Lightning Fizz reveals a captivating deep purple hue. As you take a sip, it bewitches the senses with distinct notes of tart cherries and fresh currants.
As we share this one-of-a-kind wine, we invite you to join us at Traynor Vineyard. Indulge in the captivating journey of Lightning Fizz, from its ancestral method production to the thrilling burst of flavors.
