Saint Julia - "The Mantis" Pet-Nat

 

Hailing from the renowned Argentine wine regions of Mendoza and the Uco Valley, Santa Julia has a family history in wine production that stretches back more than half a century. Under the inspired leadership of the illustrious Zuccardi family, Santa Julia continues to break new ground, with a deep-rooted commitment to sustainability, respect for the environment, and an unwavering commitment to quality and authenticity in every bottle.

We are proud to present "La Mantis" Pet-Nat, an effervescent celebration of the age-old méthode ancestral winemaking technique. This natural, slightly sparkling wine is made from Chardonnay grapes carefully harvested by hand, at their optimum point of ripeness. "La Mantis" undergoes a short maceration period for that perfect hue and is bottled during fermentation to retain those vibrant bubbles that define its unique character.

A glass of "La Mantis" poured reveals a playful straw yellow color, promising lively sips. The nose is captivated by seductive aromas of citrus fruits, white flowers and a hint of earthy yeast, a nod to the natural fermentation process. A lively symphony of flavors unfolds on the palate, with bright notes of juicy apple and pear, interspersed with soft citrus notes. The refreshing acidity and light, crisp finish make this Pet-Nat an undeniable favourite.

"La Mantis" is an ideal choice for casual gatherings or relaxed summer evenings, and pairs perfectly with light dishes such as charcuterie boards, seafood or fresh garden salads. Open a bottle and toast to the cherished craftsmanship of winemaking with this mouth-watering natural wine from Santa Julia. Cheers to the simple beauty of authentic flavors and the joy of shared moments.
