Piggy Pop Pet-Nat 2022
South Australia, AustraliaTim Wildman MW has spun his colourful career into winemaker over the past years, known for his playful wines like this Piggy Pop. The 2022 blends Mataro, Lagrien, Arneis, Nero d'Avola, and Zibibbo, sourced from McLaren Vale, Adelaide Hills, and Riverland. All were native fermented in stainless, with Nero and Mataro getting 50% whole bunch and 24-hour skin contact, giving this a deep ruby grapefruit hue. The tart citrus carries along the sleek, dryish palate with wild strawberry, white cherry, and crunchy plum, finishing with black tea tannins, pink peppercorn spiciness, and a cranberry twist. Super snappy, super fun, enjoy this Piggy with a light chill.Tasted: 23 October 2023Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:BC | $38.00 | 750ml | private wine stores |
