Good Pair Days - Vinaceous 'Hand Crafted' Pet Nat 2021

It’s become almost a stereotype nowadays for winemakers to push the idea of their produce reflecting the land that it's from, but with Vinaceous, there’s really no other way to fully understand their vision. Since 2007, winemakers Michael Kerrigan and best mate Gavin Berry have been scouring the most renowned, most respected, and most deeply loved Aussie wine regions, seeking out pocket-sized vineyards that truly match their ideals.

Their mission has allowed them to build close relationships with growers throughout the Great Southern and Margaret River regions of this vast and varied country, and Adelaide Hills and McLaren Vale get a shout out too via their characterful and sustainable releases. Kerrigan and Berry believe that great wine requires top-notch fruit, an understanding of how to process that fruit with a real lightness of touch, and a clear idea of what sort of wine the winemaker wishes to end up with. With their relaxed-yet-fascinating portfolio of seriously delicious vino, which spans so many regions yet upholds a deeply recognisable set of characteristics, drinking their wines is like going on a curated tour of the best of what Australia has to offer.

This could be considered a 'beginner level' Pét-Nat - a great introduction to the style, without any of the wildness that some examples have. It's a blend of Arneis, Pinot Grigio and Gewürztraminer, and presents with a mix of citrus and tropical fruits, some cut grass and a hint of yeast. Creamy, with raw acid and plenty of character.
