Neverstill Pet Nat 2024

A vibrant and expressive Pétillant Naturel, crafted from a blend of Cayuga White and Riesling. This lightly effervescent wine features delicate white florals, complemented by tart apple and tangy citrus. The extended lees contact adds depth to the body, creating a complex and spirited sparkling wine.

Cayuga White is a hybrid varietal resulting from a cross between Seyval Blanc and Schuyler. We sourced ours from Simmons Vineyards on Keuka Lake. Known for its early ripening, crisp acidity, and aromatic profile, Cayuga White is a popular choice for sparkling wines.

Harvested in September, the grapes were gently crushed, pressed, and partially fermented in stainless steel tanks. The wine was bottled unfined and unfiltered during primary fermentation, allowing it to finish in-bottle with a delicate sparkle. After aging on the lees, the wine was riddled and disgorged, with Riesling incorporated into the dosage to enhance the aromatics. This light, vibrant fizz makes for the perfect aperitif to kick off your evening.
