Description
Carefully harvested from the stunning sustainably farmed vineyards at Hunter’s. The fruit was pressed and allowed to settle naturally, before fermenting in stainless tanks until ready for bottling. The wine was bottled at about 14g/L sugar, which is 30% lower sugar than you would bottle a traditional sparkling wine. The sediment in the bottom are yeast lees along with a few tartrates as the juice was not cold stabilized or disgorged. The wine was unsulphured at bottling so that the ferment could finish.
Questions about Orbis Moderandi Sauvignon Blanc Pétillant Naturel 2021
- Why is there sediment in Orbis Moderandi Pétillant Naturel?
- The sediment is yeast lees plus a few tartrate crystals. The wine was not disgorged and the juice was not cold stabilized, so both stay in the bottle. They are harmless and add a little texture.
- How sweet is Orbis Moderandi Sauvignon Blanc Pétillant Naturel?
- It is bottled at about 14 g/L of sugar, which is 30% less than a traditional sparkling wine would have at bottling. The fermentation finished in the bottle, so what you taste is mostly dry, tangy Sauvignon Blanc.
- What is a pét-nat and how do I open this one?
- Pét-nat is short for pétillant naturel, a sparkling wine bottled before its first fermentation ends, so the bubbles form inside. Chill the bottle well and open it slowly over a sink, since it is unsulphured and lively.
