Klur Natur Pet en l'air 2023

Pet-Nats are a different sort of sparkler - softer, gentler bubbles than Champagne or Crémant, and often a bit cloudy thanks to the lees left in the bottle. This one, from Alsace's Clement Klur, is about as natural as it gets. A blend of Pinot Noir, Riesling and Muscat, it's bottled just three weeks after harvest with no fining, filtration or added sulphites. What you get is delicate and full of charm - soft fizz, lightly grapey aromas, and a rounded, full-flavoured palate. It's unfiltered, unfussy, and utterly delicious. If you're after a sparkling wine with real character and a strong sense of where it's from, look no further.

Lovely with smoked trout pâté, sushi rolls, or simple white fish with lemon and herbs - the gentle sparkle and flavoursome fruit sit beautifully alongside light, delicate, but well-seasoned dishes.

Authenticity and a deep connection to the land are what it's about here.
