Kamara | Pet Nat Rosé Blooming Island

Natural wine has no uniform definition. It is a general term used to describe artisanal wine made using organically and/or biodynamically grown hand-picked grapes which are vinified with little or no intervention. Winemakers often rely on indigenous yeast to catalyse natural fermentation, avoiding the use of any chemicals, additives or sulphites.

The result is wine which is alive, energetic, vibrant and unexpected – a welcomed contrast to the industrial practices of the wine industry. Valentina Passalacqua

Vinification

• After halting primary fermentation, we brought the wine down to a very cool temperature and let it settle off of its primary lees.
• The next year we add fermented must of Xinomavro to the wine in bottle provides the sparkle and lees-y feel as it gets turned into alcohol and CO2.
• Not disgorging makes it hazy, creating broader palate weight, pleasing textures, and balance throughout.
• Spontaneous alcoholic fermentation.
• Indigenous yeasts.
• Spontaneous malolactic fermentation. 
• No protein stabilization.
  
• No fining.
• No filtration.
• No sulfites added.
