2021 La Petite Vanguard Sangiovese/Zibibbo Pet-Nat

SOURCED FROM 919 VINEYARD
LOXTON, RIVERLAND

We’ve always thought of the La Petite Vanguard as being our example of a Bistro style wine – the experimental sibling to Vanguardist. Youthful & vibrant, with great drinkability, enhanced by layers of complexity from thoughtful use of solids, skin contact, oak and other vessels.  

VINEYARD AND WINERY
We hand harvested the organic certified Sangiovese on the 5th of February, hoping for about 1T of fruit. After falling a bit short I tasted some of the surrounding vines and came across the organic certified Zibibbo. It hadn’t been particularly tended to and looked rather wild. It tasted bloody delicious and was the perfect complement for the Sangiovese in this refreshing pet-nat blend.

Hand riddled and hand disgorged its quite a precise wine. Enjoyed super chilled on a summer’s day, it’ll be the perfect aperitif.
