How a wild fermentation creates natural bubbles in Prince Edward County
In short: Explore the craft of Pétillant Naturel with winemaker Mackenzie Brisbois. This video examines how Trail Estate Winery uses skin-contact wild fermentation to produce a complex, cloudy, and refreshing sparkling wine without any additives.
In the booming Canadian wine region of Prince Edward County, small-scale wineries like Trail Estate are pushing the craft forward through experimental methods. This specific Pét Nat is a blend of 60% Riesling, 30% Geisenheim, and 10% Gewürztraminer sourced from the winery's own vineyard.
The wine's characteristic cloudiness and natural effervescence come from a unique process: it is bottled approximately eight days into a wild fermentation on skin. Notably, the winemaker achieves this without adding extra yeasts, sugars, or sulphurs.
