Schwarzboeck Pet Nat Pinot Gris Extra Brut 11,5% Vol. 0,75l

The Schwarzboeck Pet Nat Pinot Gris Extra Brut 11.5% ABV in a 0.75-liter bottle is an exceptional Austrian sparkling wine produced using the traditional Methode ancestrale. “Pet Nat” stands for “Petillant Naturel” and refers to a naturally sparkling wine whose fine carbonation develops directly in the bottle during fermentation. This traditional production method is considered one of the oldest ways to make sparkling wine and results in a particularly authentic, artisanal style.

This Pet Nat is made from Pinot Gris. The grapes are carefully hand-harvested in early September 2025 at 16.5° KMW and then processed using gentle whole-cluster pressing. While the first fermentation is still underway, the must is bottled, where the residual sugar continues to ferment, naturally producing alcohol and carbon dioxide. Unlike classic bottle fermentation, no secondary fermentation is initiated, and typically no additional dosage of sugar and yeast is used. Following bottle fermentation, disgorgement takes place in late May 2026 with a minimal sulfur addition of 40 mg. With a pressure of 5 bar, an alcohol content of 11.5% ABV, and an optimal drinking window from 2026 to 2030, this Extra Brut Pet Nat impresses with its natural character, freshness, and elegance.
