Sardanita Pet Nat, by Freire Lobo
Regular price
£23.00
A cloudy and unfiltered fizz from the Dão region of Portugal that's both fun and serious in equal measures.
Made with a blend of local grape varieties, all organically grown - Encruzado, Bical, Cerceal, Barcelo, Fernão Pires and Malvasia Fina.
Highly interesting and varied in it's flavour profile - apples, lemons, and a hint of tropical fruits. And with a distinct mineral finish that makes this sparkling perfect for a warm summers afternoon.
Why we chose it?
Portugal is becoming a hotbed for innovative, organic winemaking. Freire Lobo is leading the charge with intriguing wines with unique appeal.

The wine...
Sardanita
A lively Pétillant Naturel (pét-nat), bottled before fermentation finishes to create its gentle sparkle naturally. Made with minimal intervention and native yeasts, it perfectly captures the freshness and mineral character of the Dão. Bright, energetic and fun, it's also a food-friendly sparkling wine, great for sharing around the table. And like the best pét-nats, it balances a touch of wildness with precision, giving plenty of personality.
The producer...
Freire Lobo
Freire Lobo is led by Elisa Freire Lobo, who transformed her family's vineyards into one of the Dão's most exciting modern estates. Today the estate farms organically, works exclusively with traditional Portuguese grape varieties and relies on indigenous yeast fermentations. Production is small, less than 50,000 bottles a year, with a focus on minimal intervention, biodiversity and expressing the purity of the region's granite soils through vibrant, authentic wines.
