Pét-Nat is produced in the méthode ancestral, otherwise known as ‘rurale’, ‘artisanale’, or ‘gaillacoise’. In essence, the wine is bottled prior to fully completing its first fermentation, allowing carbon dioxide to be produced by the natural sugars found in the grapes. Unlike Champagne, Pét-Nat is not disgorged, and may or may not be filtered on completion of fermentation.

Our first Pet-Nat is made from 100% Swan Valley (WA) Chenin Blanc from a single vineyard located in Herne Hill. Free from both insecticides and pesticides, the fruit was picked for acidity rather than sugar levels and transported to Denmark for processing by Clandestine Vineyards contract winemaker Andrew Vesey at Castelli Estate. Cold-pressed by his daughter, Lily, the juice was fermented in one single stainless steel tank under its own wild yeast.

Just prior to fermenting to dry, the wine was immediately bottled under the crown cap with no further adjustment, filtration or fining to finish the last of the ferment in the bottle, allowing for the light carbon dioxide to produce a light fizz. At only 10.5% ALC/VOL; this delightful, light and utterly smashable sparkling wine has aromatic ginger and lemongrass notes, bright and vibrant green straw colour and a fresh palate of apples, pears and citrus blossoms.

About Clandestine

Nick and Trudy Stacy are backed by decades of industry experience and time-earned wisdom, sourcing fruit from some of the most exceptional yet impossible to access vineyards.

Pairing these rare harvests with the perfect winemaker, each hand-picked with the same discretion as the fruit itself. Tied to no one location, GI, or house style, we create extraordinary wines from unplundered fruits that lay beyond the reach of most. These are the Clandestine Vineyards.

With each wine that they craft, every piece of the winemaking puzzle has been carefully considered and deftly executed. However, knowing who, what, where and when is not enough.

The secret to making these wines lies within relationships that take time and trust to forge—something that simply can’t be bought. The key to these crucial relationships is held by our founders, Nick and Trudy. Between the two of them is over three decades of selling, buying, discovering, and crafting wine.

They are the mind, the heart and the soul of Clandestine Vineyards. They understand great wine and they know how to unlock it—with a vision for every vintage that runs all the way from vine to glass.
