Express Winemakers La Nina Pet Nat

First generation vignerons, Ryan O’Meara and Pete Ikstrums, seek out unloved or abandoned vineyards from all corners of the Great Southern and convert them to organic farming practices. The grapes from these vineyards are fermented naturally, before they are blended or not, to make honest and expressive wines.

A petillant naturel wine named for the weather pattern that helped its creation. The Riesling (95%) from the Toolbrunup Vineyard in Porongurup was picked early to salvage the fruit before another rain event wiped it out completely, while the Cabernet Franc (5%) was sourced from the Merrebee Vineyard in Mount Barker. All the fruit was hand-picked, the Riesling destemmed and pressed directly to tank. This was blended with the Cabernet Franc juice post-fermentation then bottled using the ancestral method.
