Chardonnay, Central Valley, Chile

Not only are we forever fans of animal-themed wine labels, we are also fans of delicious, cloudy pet-nats that make you say ‘um is this wine?’. Despite its kombucha vibes, this is indeed a delicious sparkling wine from Chilean winemaking family Echeverria, who have been active farmers since 1740. In fact, their mineral-rich soils and deep history have an extra special element since their rootstocks are French pre-phylloxera. Quick lesson time: phylloxera was a louse that originated in the Americas and, along with many other aspects of colonization, wreaked havoc on European vines almost wiping them out entirely. ALMOST. But some very rare and very old vines still exist and are categorized as such, and this is your chance to taste some serious history! Rich, tropical fruit, citrus squeeze and a cooling herbal touch that makes this jungle-themed juice wildly cool and wildly interesting.
