NV Gonc Winery Canvas Rose Pet-Nat

Peter Gonc is a 4th generation winemaker and grape grower. His family tradition got its start in 1936 and now Peter is producing some of the most fun wines in Slovenia. Petillant Naturel AKA Pet-Nats, so dubbed by the hip wine scene of today, are the trendy new-but-old style way to make bubbles. These wines are actually made using a method that pre-dates the Champagne style – and is way cheaper to do. Much like your parents’ old band tees and bell bottom jeans, they are back, and back with a vengeance. This style of wine originated in France and is said to be the O.G. of the sparkling wine family. 

This rose pet-nat is super-light, almost the color of watermelon juice. The nose is citrus-driven, and the palate is smooth and richer than you'd expect. Juicy red grapefruit and tart strawberries are the primary notes here.
