About this Wine

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.

Yarra Valley Wine

The Yarra Valley wine region is the most important area of wine production in Victoria today, and with its proximity to Melbourne, also the most visited in the state.

Yarra Valley is split into the Upper Yarra and the valley floor. The Upper Yarra is cooler in climate due to its elevation and coupled with younger, fertile, red soils produces most of the region’s notable varietals: Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. The valley floor is warmer and has predominantly grey soils with pockets of granite and limestone.

Pinot noir has long been considered a notoriously difficult variety to grow. However, the cool climate and longer growing seasons of the Yarra Valley allow the fruit to develop full flavoured and ripe character.

Chardonnay in the past has long been associated with a deep oily, buttery style that experiences full malolactic fermentation and great amounts of oak. This style has since fallen out of favour and wine makers in the Yarra Valley have capitalized on this trend to produce leaner, acid driven Chardonnays that are closer in style to those from Burgundy.

Critic reviews

James Halliday – "Shiraz, sauvignon blanc and chardonnay, co-fermented, whole-bunch pressed and then fermented in bottle until dryness. A cloudy pale apricot hue, with aromas of freshly cut passionfruit and papaya. Sweet fruited on entry, this well-made example finishes bubbly and dry." - Phillip Rich
