Cruzat 2024 Pet Nat

ABOUT THE PRODUCER

Pedro Rosell is Argentina’s King of Bubbles – he and his team strive to create the country’s most expressive, sophisticated sparkling wines.
The winery is located in the old winemaking region of Perdriel, south of the Mendoza River, at the foot of the Cordon del Plata mountain range.
All wines are made from high elevation estate Pinot Noir and Chardonnay vines, many of which sit at an unbelievable 4,600+ feet. Dosage is low across the board, resulting in verve/tension levels that truly rare in this part of the world.

ABOUT THE WINE

This extremely limited release is made from high altitude, organically farmed grapes in Gualtallary, Uco Valley.
WInemakers Lorena Mulet and Pedro Rosell love that the origin of this method is ancestral and consists of obtaining a sparkling wine with a single fermentation, unlike the traditional method in which two fermentations occur.
This release is the product of several previous trials, so they hope to grow in volume of production in future vintages.

TASTING NOTES

Fresh, with persistent citrus and floral notes. Bright acidity holds everything together well. It is certainly a great aperitif, “Petillant Naturel!”
