Spunk Nat is our ode to pét-nat frivolity, Great Southern style. Two serious sites come together to make something fun and seriously drinkable. 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: we bottled at just the right moment to catch the last breath of fermentation, creating a gentle, natural fizz.
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.
