Aphros 2022 Phaunus Pet Nat White
Being “old school” as we are does not blind us to the appeal of well-made examples of the current vogue for Pet Nat and other such wines i.e we are more concerned about the “what” than the “how”! The ”what” here is a stellar example of sparkling Loureiro that has all the charm and appeal of the grape in a low alcohol format with lovely mousse and total cleanliness! This is how PetNat should be made!
