Living Roots – 2023 Pet Nat Riesling

At americanwine.club, we’re excited to offer the 2023 Pet Nat Riesling from Living Roots Wine & Co. This wine brings together the natural charm of the Pétillant Naturel style with the cool-climate elegance of Finger Lakes Riesling. The result is a sparkling wine that’s zesty, textured, and refreshingly unfiltered — made for casual enjoyment and joyful moments.

Pet Nat, short for Pétillant Naturel, is a traditional method of producing sparkling wine. Unlike Champagne, it’s bottled before fermentation finishes, creating bubbles naturally. Living Roots takes this ancient technique and gives it a modern, Finger Lakes twist. The Riesling grapes were harvested early to retain acidity, fermented spontaneously, and bottled unfiltered with a small amount of residual sugar — allowing for a gentle, frothy sparkle.

The nose opens with vivid aromas of lime zest, green apple, and fresh pear. Subtle white flowers and a saline minerality round out the aromatic profile. On the palate, the fine bubbles burst with energy. Crisp acidity keeps the texture lively, while hints of citrus and orchard fruit glide across the tongue. There’s a hint of yeastiness and a raw edge that add authenticity and depth.

This is a wine meant to be enjoyed young and chilled. Pair it with fresh goat cheese, sushi, fried chicken, or a sunny afternoon on the terrace. Serve at 8–10 °C and don’t worry about the cloudiness — it’s part of the charm.

Whether you’re curious about natural wine or already a fan, this Pet Nat Riesling from Living Roots offers pure refreshment with a wink of fun. Available in limited quantities only at americanwine.club.
