Winemaking: Organic Bacchus, Pinot Noir and Pinot Gris grapes were harvested by hand and foot crushed before co-fermentation with indigenous yeast in fibreglass tanks. The wine was bottled before this process was complete in order to create fizz in the bottle (Ancestral winemaking technique - Pet Nat). No filtration, fining or added sulphur. Not disgorged.
This Wine: Ham Street's Pet Nat is back for the 2023 vintage! Always a big hit with us, this blend of red and white grapes is juicy and energetic. English summer in a bottle! 2023 is the first year that Ham Street vines have been certified Biodynamic.
Notes on the Winemaker: Lucie and Jules grow grapes in Kent using organic and biodynamic farming practices (with certification to follow soon). Daniel and Nicola at Offbeat purchase many of these grapes to make their own wine with and Dan has spoken to us enthusiastically about the quality of fruit produced. This year Dan has made a wine for them bottled under the Ham Street label.
