This is simply delicious sparkling wine that happens to be made from a fruit that’s *not* grapes, apples! The wine is made from two organically farmed orchards, planted predominantly to the Spitzenburg and Honeycrisp apple varieties. They crushed the fruit in mid December, and the wine fermented very slowly through a cold winter and cold spring until they bottled it right before they went to Australia in May. It was the first wine they’ve made like this: a pet nat that wasn’t bottled in just a few weeks, but instead had an incredibly long primary fermentation that allowed the wine to clarify naturally in an unexpected and beautiful way. This long primary fermentation inspired thought in us that pet nats, given the appropriate attention, could make extremely elegant sparkling wines that are much more than your typical “farmer fizz.”

They make natural wines, usually sparkling, from just fruit and nothing else. They work with organically grown fruits including grapes, apples, pears, quince, plums, peaches, blackberries and medlar. They use no preservatives or chemicals in the winery at any time. They pick and process the fruit ourselves. They bottle and label themselves. Labels are designed by them, printed with photos they take, by a 100 year old print business in Seattle. Bottles are made from 65% recycled glass on the west coast, and are re-usable. Labels are printed without plastic additives to be removable with hot water.
