Details
Epitomising the playful, weird and wonderful in wine, this bright yellow pét nat is so 'extra' it'll have you guessing if it is even wine! Very overt and upfront on the nose, it's incredibly wild, like it's fermenting in real time, with white florals, ginger spice and tropical punchy fruits. These super aromatics carry on the palate, with a mouthful of rich limey bubbles. A wild pét nat blend of Gewürztraminer and Sauvignon Blanc that is unlike any other. Crazy good.

Though Lansdowne's vineyards are home to the slowest growing vines in Adelaide Hills, it's certainly never a dull moment for the young hustling family behind it, Eliza and Tass ('Tosh')! This Young Gun duo is making some tremendously exciting small-batch minimal intervention production that are turning heads to the Hills in hope of tasting their hard-to-get-your-hands-on wines. The vineyard is perched up 350 metres in the Forreston Valley where it experiences a Mediterranean climate with cool wet winters and warm dry summers that linger into long stretched autumns. Stunning early sunsets over the vineyards and cool air pooled in the valley under the starry skies make for an ideal temperature fluctuation (diurnal swing) which ensures the grapes ripen slow and steady; a prerequisite for the kind of flavour complexity and elegance we see in the wines from Lansdowne. Eliza and Tosh believe in the importance of sustainability and transparency in their wine which means they take a full-love, but hands-off approach to make sure their wines sing in the same key as their unique roots.

Pairing guide
Lansdowne are really pushing the boat out with their creative and exciting pétillant naturel wines, and this beauty is no exception. Bringing together the freshness of Sauvignon Blanc and the balanced florals of a good Gewürztraminer is an inspired move, making this sparkling wine a brand new favourite we just can’t get enough of! We love this bottle with really spicy Thai, Vietnamese, and Malaysian curries - everything from a fiery Pad Thai to a Massaman curry will do the trick nicely - and it’s also a great choice for pork dishes in creamy sauces, potato dishes, green salads, leafy vegetables, and fresh cheeses.

Wine region
Adelaide Hills, Australia
The Adelaide Hills wine region, located in South Australia's Mount Lofty Ranges of South Australia is characterised by its high altitude, cool climate, and diverse soils, which all contribute to the unique terroir that produces elegant, complex, and expressive wines. The region's altitude ranges from 400 to 700 meters above sea level, creating a cooler climate than other wine regions in South Australia. The cool temperatures slow down the ripening process of the grapes, resulting in wines with high acidity, delicate aromatics, and elegant flavours. Top sub-regions are Lenswood, Piccadilly Valley, and Basket Range, each with unique microclimates and diverse soil types that produce singular wine styles, the highlights are Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Shiraz and a whole lot more!
