Gilbert Petillant Naturel (Pet Nat) Riesling
Gilbert Family Wines, established in 2010, is a boutique family winery in Australia, primarily sourcing grapes from the Orange region of New South Wales. Under the guidance of winemaker Will Gilbert, the winery focuses on crafting contemporary wines that reflect the unique climates of their vineyards.
Wine Description
The Gilbert Pétillant-Naturel Riesling is a sparkling wine made using the traditional méthode ancestrale, resulting in a naturally effervescent beverage. In the glass, it presents a cloudy straw colour, indicative of its unfiltered nature. Aromas of citrus, particularly lemon curd, are complemented by bright apple notes. On the palate, the wine is crisp and textured, with lively citrus flavours and a fine bead that enhances its refreshing character.
Food Pairing
This Pétillant-Naturel Riesling pairs excellently with fresh seafood dishes such as oysters, ceviche, or grilled prawns. Its zesty acidity and effervescence also make it a delightful companion to soft cheeses like chèvre or creamy brie. These pairings highlight the wine’s freshness and enhance its complex flavours.
