Sparkling/Pét-Nat
Pét-Nat short for "Pétillan Naturel", is a phrase that refers to the old fashioned way for "Méthode Ancestrale" (French for Ancestral Method) which is simply sparkling wine. Bottling the wine prior to fermentation completion produces carbon dioxide from the natural sugars in the grapes. This natural process gives the wine a fizzy and refreshing taste. Perfect for a hot summers day but acceptable for any occasion. This category also contains all sparkling wines regardless of their process.
