Lightning Rock Pét Nat Chenin Blanc Harrington House Vineyard 2023
Summerland Bench, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaPet Nats are not my favourite, but I would make an exception for this bottle, which is as good as it gets for the category. Certainly, chenin blanc seems well suited for the fragrant aromas that spill onto the palate, pitching pear, melons, and honeysuckle with refreshing acidity and a surprising amount of minerality. The fruit is farmed organically at Harrington House Vineyard in Peachland, whole cluster pressed, settled for a day and fermented slow and relaxed in concrete eggs. It was bottled by mid-October and rested on its lees for six months before being disgorged in March 2024. The winery recommends a creamy textured soft cheese like Brie or Camembert to set off the crispy green flavours of the wine. This is a refreshingly well-made Pet Nat you can enjoy all summer.Tasted: 12 April 2024Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:| BC | $32.00 | 750ml | winery direct/online |
