STEIGLER Organic Pet Nat 2024

An organic Pet Nat sparkling wine from Grüner Veltliner, this is a refreshing natural wine with refined bubbles, a velvety texture and vibrant acidity.

Bright straw-yellow in colour with a natural hue characteristic of unfiltered wines. An intense nose of green apple, ripe pear, lime, herbal notes and sophisticated yeast aromas. A light and airy structure with playful bubbles. The fruity palate echoes the nose and is accompanied by a gentle sweetness, creating a harmonious experience. A mineral finish with crisp citrus notes and a subtle, really enjoyable slightly bitter aftertaste.

Food Pairing

It goes superbly with spicy grilled vegetables, or enjoy it alongside a more substantial salad served with a dressing.

Meet the Winemaker

Steigler Winery, Sopron - Protected Designation of Origin (PDO)

The Steigler Winery is based in downtown Sopron, located in the northeast corner of Hungary. This tradition goes back hundreds of years when townsfolk would dig their cellars under their own houses to protect what they thought of as their most ‘valuable treasure’, their wine. The family-owned Estate renovated a cellar system, which they use for barrel ageing a range of organically cultivated wines. Though the wine region is located at the northernmost border of viticulture, nearby Lake Fertő creates a unique micro-climate. This large body of water tempers winter cold and eases the summer heat. When combined with a unique terroir of mica schist, limestone and humus-rich forest soil, you can be sure to taste the distinct Sopron character in each bottle of Steigler.
