Delatite 'Pet Nat' Riesling Gewürztraminer 2021

Due to the success of the first vintage Delatite had to double its production for the 2022 vintage.

Our Pet Nat wine is made with 100% wild yeast and grown following biodynamic principles. By eschewing artificial inputs and minimizing the use of fining agents and Sulphur, we allow the true character of our vineyard to shine through in every sip.

The winemaking process is simple yet magical. We start with our estate wine, then add grape sugar and yeast during bottling, initiating a secondary fermentation that creates the delightful bubbles characteristic of Pet Nat wines. The result is a vibrant and lively expression of our vineyard's terroir, bursting with natural flavors and effervescence.

Delatite Pet Nat wine, where tradition meets innovation and sustainability reigns supreme. Cheers to enjoying the full spectrum of vineyard characteristics in every glass!

Jeni Port
79/21% riesling/gewürztraminer. Hand picked, whole- bunch pressed, co-fermented wild for primary fermentation. A pét-nat with a touch of class and presence in the glass, not to mention flavour intensity. Striking scents and flavours of spiced apple, honeysuckle, lime cordial, spiciness and tropical passionfruit pulp and skin. This is one strong, individual style, not shy in the least, offering a tantalising touch of savouriness with lively textural flow through to the finish.
