Claus Preisinger BIO Pet Nat St. Laurent Ancestral 2022

Pet Nat from Austria. Biodynamic wine, respekt-BIODYN.

Grape variety: St. Laurent Sankt Laurent directly pressed.

Blanc de Noir is much more common in sparkling wine than in still wine. We love this zestful freshness that red grape varieties such as St Laurent or Zweigelt bring with them. No kitschy fruit soda, but fine elegant Pet Nat.
