2021 Sunny Pét-Nat

WINEMAKER: Tom Sheer & James Audas
REGION: Riverland, SA
VARIETAL: Chenin Blanc, Grüner Veltliner
VITICULTURE: Organic/Biodynamic

70% Chenin Blanc and 30% Gruner Veltliner from the biodynamic Bassham family vineyard in Barmera. The Chenin was picked early providing a racing acidity while the Gruner a touch later adding a lovely opulence to the palette. Fermented dry with a juice addition of Gruner in the spring time.

"Sunny Wines was born out of our desire to continue to support our Das Juice growers by taking some small parcels of excess fruit and alternative varieties which were not suited to our Das Juice range. As with Das Juice the ideas of organic viticulture, minimal intervention in the cellar and experimentation were at the forefront and with that we are delighted to introduce you to our first release. Our Pet Nat is Biodynamic Chenin Blanc and Gruner from the Riverland while our “Dawn” Red is skin contact McLaren Vale Pinot Gris with whole bunches of McLaren Shiraz for a medium bodied and fun take on Shiraz from the region."
