2025 'Spunk' Pét Nat

Bright, fresh and just a little bit cheeky. Expect lifted aromas of early spring strawberries, wildflowers and citrus peel. The palate is lively and textured - fine, gentle bubbles carrying those fruit flavours alongside Great Southern Riesling’s trademark acidity.

There’s a subtle leesy creaminess and a delicate kiss of residual sweetness (3–4 g/L) that rounds it all out. It’s playful but balanced, and thanks to the lees, it’ll keep evolving nicely in bottle for a few years.

Frankland River Riesling (90%) and Mount Barker Shiraz (10%) were given a couple of days on skins to build colour, aromatics and gentle texture before being pressed off and co-fermented wild. Timing is everything with pet nat: bottled at just the right moment to catch the last breath of fermentation, creating a gentle, natural fizz.

About La Violetta

Founded by the legendary AJ Hoadley, grapes are sourced from a handful of trusted growers across the Great Southern with exceptional vineyards and some amongst the oldest in the state. The idea is to keep production at a small scale so that each wine is personally hand-crafted.
