Lubanzi ‘Rainboat’ Pét-Nat '23
Lubanzi ‘Rainboat’ Pét-Nat '23
Sourced from a tiny, organically farmed single vineyard in the heart of the Swartland, this wine has character in spades.
Naked grapefruit flesh used as sunglasses, this 2023 is much lighter in hue than previous vintages. A nose tingling combination of sherbet, stamped forest floor and watermelon, while the palate heads to watermelon rind & a cucumber soda pop character alongside notes of sour guava, barnyard hay and a strawberry fizzer candy.
If you're natty curious or already nutty on pet nats, you're going to love the refreshing complexity of a Pet Nat made like Pet Nat!

Organic Grapes
Wine is an agricultural product. Just as with food, highly processed wines contain additives to mask flavor deficiencies in the base ingredient: grapes. Poorly farmed grapes that relies on additives and harsh chemicals will produces grapes that will inherently need additives, like sugar and acid, to make good tasting wine. Why apply harmful pesticides and herbicides when we know this kills soil microbiology, the very thing that assists in plant nutrition and grape flavor? In the vineyard we farm for healthy soils and vine longevity rather than high yields.
