Petulant Natural Sparkling Rosé 2017

9.1

Continuing my way through some unique TX wines from Ron Yates Winery and Spicewood Winery.

@Delectable Wine : This is the Ron Yates Petulant Natural Sparkling Rosé wine. It was not in the database.

This is my first PetNat wine and this is a head scratcher! Ron advised me to let this get cold for a few days upright to allow the sediment to fall, then carefully and slowly pour/decant. Sealed under bottle-cap, this fizzed only a little bit upon opening. Murky and muddled at first, once it settled in the glass, grapefruit rind and clay covered strawberries. Incredibly fine bubbles. The finish was very crisp, and a bit more strawberries and raspberries came out the longer it was open.

What an absolute treat to try! Many thanks @Ron Yates on helping craft this wine...incredibly cool that TX is making these! — 7 years ago

@Shay A -Looks like Guava juice in a wine glass! Aloha!

It’s unfiltered and fermented with native yeast so it can be interesting if you don’t decant and separate the spent yeast from the wine. Fun little project and I am glad you enjoyed it.

@Shay A Looks very fun. I enjoy these diversions from the norm. @Ron Yates Very cool stuff; reminds me of what Frank Cornelissen is doing in Sicily. Not sure if you’re familiar with his wines, but they are fun to try if you can get your hands on them.
