Taste the Méthode 3-Pack
2020 Méthode Cab Nouveau (Cabernet Sauvignon)
The 2020 Patrick of Coonawarra Méthode Cab Nouveau is an early release of Cabernet Sauvignon made to showcase the diversity of the variety.
2020 Méthode Eucalypt (Cabernet Sauvignon)
This trial was testing the hypothesis that vineyards amongst gum trees take on some
aroma and flavour of Eucalyptus. Grapes that were in close proximity to Red Gums into were harvested. The resultant wine showed significantly increased Eucalyptus aroma and flavour. This matured into a distinctly Australian Cabernet Sauvignon that expresses the environment and place in which it was grown.
2020 Méthode Skinny (Riesling)
The 2020 Patrick of Coonawarra Méthode Skinny Riesling is was made as a way to take the traditional crisp, fresh style of Riesling and give it body and texture. The grapes were harvested and pressed, with 20% volume of whole berries added back to the juice. Fermented on skins, then transferred to old oak Puncheons for 6 months.
FAQ
What is natural wine?
The philosophy of natural wine is one of minimal-intervention, from vineyard to cellar. Natural wines are made using quality grapes, generally grown using organic and biodynamic practices, however vineyards may not always be certified as such due to the restrictive nature of these certification systems. Natural wines in most cases won't be filtered or fined, processes which generally involve the use of animal products.
Are your wines vegan friendly?
In almost all cases yes! Generally if you see "unfiltered and unfined" this will be an assurance that no animal products have been used in the process. The fining process is where conventional winemakers will often use egg and fish products (yep pretty gross) to remove sediment from wines. The sediment is natural, healthy and adds flavour so natural wine makers almost always leave some of it in.
Are your wines chemical free?
In most cases yes, natural wines generally use grapes grown using biodynamic or organic farming methods and will have none of the over 200 additives that can be found in conventional wines, with the occasional exception of a tiny amount of sulphur. Some natural winemakers choose to add a small amount of sulphur (SO2) to ensure their wines are less volatile, while a lot of natural winemakers believe strongly against this.
