First Foot Forward’s first Pet Nat is Naturally Petulant (that’s a mouthful) and it’s a belter!

It’s cloudy iridescent pink like a hazy sunset. The bubbly fizz highlights the vibrant cranberry and blood orange fruit and there’s a lively prickle on the tongue with flavours of ruby grapefruit, fruit tingles and sourdough. Super fresh!

Naturally Petulant was made by co-fermenting Yarra Valley Shiraz, Sauvignon Blanc and Chardonnay grapes and bottling while still fermenting, locking in the bubbles for a lightly sparkling wine.

Cool the bottle down before opening to calm the wine’s petulance (it gets very excited very quickly if too warm). I recommend gently mixing the settled yeast into the wine before opening for that extra creaminess or just decant if you’re not a fan of the yeasty goodness.

About First Foot Forward Wines

First Foot Forward was launched in 2013 with a focus on making small batches of textural, thought provoking Yarra Valley wines with minimal intervention. Martin works with strong vineyards and experienced growers from across the Yarra Valley to make complex, balanced and most importantly interesting wines with a modest price tag.

The wines are fermented with wild yeasts before elevage in oak and terracotta eggs. Small batch wines result in small quantities. Pinot Noir and Chardonnay are at the core of FFF with an occasional dabble in other varieties such as Sauvignon Blanc when Martin gets too excited to say no.

Martin’s day job since 2012 has been winemaker and vineyard manager for Tokar Estate where he introduced sustainable vineyard practices and a culture of putting the wine quality at the forefront. Prior to Tokar Estate, he learnt the art of winemaking working in Burgundy with Benjamin Leroux, Pegasus Bay in Canterbury N.Z. and Yarra Yering amongst others. The three current releases are Chardonnay, Pinot Noir & Sauvignon Blanc. All are hand-picked & wild yeast fermented with some skin contact & all are absolutely delicious.
