WINE DESCRIPTION
Lucashof Pet Nat Riesling is a pioneering natural sparkling wine from the esteemed family-owned Lucashof estate in the Pfalz region. Managed by husband and wife winemakers alongside their children, the estate boasts organically certified vineyards and a rich history of producing exceptional Riesling. The Pet Nat, introduced by their son Philipp in 2022, is crafted from 100% Riesling grapes, marking the winery's first venture into natural sparkling wine. Grown in vineyards with volcanic, glacial, and river sediment soils, the grapes benefit from the region's Mediterranean-like climate, resulting in fuller-bodied wines with lower acidity and rounder flavors. The Pet Nat undergoes a single fermentation, completed in the bottle without added sugar, yeast, or sulfur, capturing the essence of Lucashof's commitment to minimal intervention and environmental stewardship. This innovative sparkling wine offers a delightful peachy flavor profile, reflecting the unique terroir of the Pfalz.

These aromas create an inviting and refreshing bouquet that entices the senses.
The palate of this wine is lively and effervescent, with a crisp acidity that adds a delightful zing. Flavors of green apple, pear, and hints of tropical fruits dance on the tongue, creating a harmonious and well-balanced profile.
