The Méthode Ancestrale is the oldest known form of sparkling wine production originating in France, long before the Champagne method. The must is bottled while it is still fermenting; the residual sugar continues to ferment in the bottle, and the resulting carbon dioxide builds up pressure. Some winemakers disgorge at the end and remove the yeast sediment, while others deliberately leave it in the bottle — the cloudy substance at the bottom is a matter of style, not a flaw.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFrom a tax perspective, Pet Nat is often precisely where it is not yet sparkling wine in the stricter sense: below 3 bar pressure, no sparkling wine tax is due.

Pet Nat has only one fermentation — the must is bottled in the middle of the fermentation process and completes fermentation there. The result is often naturally cloudy (if not disgorged), lower in alcohol, and less sparkling, but more original in aroma.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow much alcohol does a Pet Nat have?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nTypically 10–12 % vol. — significantly less than most Sekt (11–13 % vol.) and Champagne (12–12.5 % vol.). Heinrich Pet Nat, for example, is around 10 % vol., Loimer around 11.5–12 % vol., and Lusvardi around 11 % vol.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes Pet Nat have yeast in the bottle?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nThat depends on the winemaker. Heinrich and Loimer disgorge — the yeast sediment is removed before sale, and the wine is clear in the bottle. Other Pet Nats deliberately remain on the lees; the sediment at the bottom is then desired (for taste and creaminess). If you like, swirl it up; if not, pour carefully.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs Pet Nat dry?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nGenerally, yes. Since the residual sugar is used for carbon dioxide formation, very little usually remains in the glass — typical values are between 3 and 8 g\/l residual sugar, which is clearly in the dry range.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow to store and how long does it keep?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nUnopened, Pet Nat keeps for 2–3 years in dark, cool storage; natural (unsulfured) Pet Nats slightly shorter. After opening, we recommend drinking the bottle within one to two days — the effervescence quickly diminishes, and unfiltered\/unsulfured cuvées are susceptible to oxidation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003ePet Nat — sparkling wine as it was before Champagne: natural, honest, often idiosyncratic.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"heinrich-pet-nat-oh-when-the-saints-2022","title":"Pet Nat Oh When the Saints – 2022","description":"\u003ch2\u003eOh when the Saints – Pet Nat from Gernot Heinrich Winery\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Gernot \u003cstrong\u003eHeinrich Pet Nat Oh when the Saints 2022\u003c\/strong\u003e is a sparkling Blanc de Noir made from the red Sankt Laurent grape.

After the harvest, direct pressing takes place. Through subsequent must cooling, Gernot gives the must time for the sediments to settle before spontaneous fermentation begins. At the beginning of October 2022, after three weeks in stainless steel tanks, the still fermenting must is bottled, where it continues to ferment and a fine perlage forms. The residual sugar still present is responsible for the carbonation of the resulting PetNat.
