2022 Spicy Bubbles

Sparkling wine for drinking, not thinking

First sparkling wine for Good Clean Fun and this one is sticking true to the fun name. This is a Pet Nat, a style of sparkling wine made by capturing the carbonation of the first ferment of the grapes. If you are looking for a serious, Champagne style of wine, this isn't the one for you. However, if you are looking for the a sessionable drink, built for sunshine and good times, this is your guy. 

The "Spicy Bubbles" name is a reference to my nieces who, when they were growing up, would find the sensation of carbonated beverages very strange and confuse it with being spicy. Whenever we were out and they were after a soft drink, they would always ask for spicy bubbles which has stuck in our household for anything with fizz.

Just a heads up, this wine is cloudy and will have a small amount of sediment in the bottle. This is intentional, sort of like proper OJ or kombucha, and it wont hurt you to consume it.
