Wavy Wines 2023 "NRG" Pet-Nat

Chenin Blanc, Muscat, Chardonnay

Sonoma County, CA

Light Body

Zesty and refreshing. Two days on the skins gives some textural interest to palate. Salty citrus, tart orchard fruit, and white flowers.

Organic, 0/0

Chenin Blanc and Muscat were hand harvested and macerated for 2 days on their skins before being pressed and fermented in stainless steel tanks. 100% destemmed Muscat fermented on the skins for 13 days in an open top stainless-steel tank. Once fermentation was almost complete wine was drained of its free run juice. Chenin Blanc was direct-pressed and blended with Muscat midway through fermentation. Wine was racked and a touch still-sweet fermenting Chardonnay juice was added before bottling in October 2023. Fermentation finished in bottle. Native fermentation, no SO2 added.
