Ancre Hill Estates Pet-Nat NV White Welsh Natural Wine

Ancre Hill Estates Pet-Nat NV White is an outstanding, biodynamic sparkling wine produced in Monmouthshire, Wales. Crafted by the renowned Ancre Hill Estates using the ancient méthode ancestrale, this unfiltered Pet-Nat (Pétillant Naturel) is bottled mid-fermentation to naturally trap gentle, creamy bubbles. Grown on limestone and sandstone soils, it delivers a pristine, low-intervention profile brimming with orchard fruit, citrus zest, and signature Welsh minerality.

Tasting Notes & Style

Spontaneously fermented with wild yeasts and bottled without fining, filtration, or added sulfur, this Welsh sparkling white offers a rustic yet highly refined sensory profile:

• The Nose: Expressive and fragrant, opening with crisp aromas of bruised green apples, white peach, elderflower, fresh brioche, and rustic sourdough yeast.
• The Palate: Light, energetic, and beautifully textured. A soft, creamy mousse carries vibrant flavors of lemon curd, pear skin, and subtle herbal notes, balanced by electric natural acidity.
• The Finish: Dry, clean, and mouthwateringly crisp, ending with a lingering note of chalky minerality and citrus peel.
