2025 "Spicy Bubbles" Riesling Pet Nat
Sparkling Wine For Drinking, Not Thinking
The "Spicy Bubbles" name is a reference to my nieces who, when they were growing up, would find the sensation of carbonated beverages very strange and confuse it with being spicy. Whenever we were out and they were after a soft drink, they would always ask for spicy bubbles which has stuck in our household for anything with fizz.
This is a Pet Nat, a style of sparkling wine made by capturing the carbonation of the first ferment of the grapes. If you are looking for the a sessionable drink, built for sunshine and good times, this is your guy.
Just a heads up, this wine is cloudy and may have a small amount of sediment in the bottle. This is intentional, sort of like proper OJ or kombucha, and it wont hurt you to consume it.
REGION: Grampians GI, Western Victoria
VINEYARD: Aradale Vineyard, planted on red sandy loam over quartz.
VINTAGE: 2025
VARIETAL: 100% Riesling
GROWING SEASON: 2025 was the goldilocks vintage, featuring warm temperatures that never got too hot, creating near-perfect conditions for grape growing and resulting in beautifully balanced wines.
ALCOHOL: 12% - 7.1 standard drinks
WINEMAKING: Destemmed fruit, a couple hours of skin contact before it was sent direct to the press. Cool, slow, native ferment in stainless steel tanks before bottling before the ferment had completed.
FOOD MATCH: Antipasto or just a good quality packet of chips in the park with some sunshine.
