Splash! 2023
Vincent’s iconic pet nat. Easy, breezy, perfect for breakfast.
Using Semillon grapes once destined for his family’s sweet-wine Monbazillac production, Vincent tapped into a better way to channel the grape’s hidden energies: zero sulphur pet nat! Citrus, apple, minerals. Super fresh and with plenty of froth. Ideal as an aperitif or even with desert. One to enjoy with friends again and again.
