Lumen - 'Hey Ginger - Pétnat' - Pétnat of Ginger, Chardonnay - Santa Barbara County, CA - NV

Notes from the Winery/Importer

Hey Ginger Pet Nat was made with only two ingredients: organic grapes and ginger root. Estate-farmed Chardonnay from the Santa Maria Valley. It was bottled alive! At about 2 brix sugar we put a cap on it and allowed it to continue fermentation in bottle. It will put a little sparkle in your day.

Notes on the Producer

Hey Ginger was discovered by a happy accident. Lumen Winemaker Lane Tanner discovered the powerful effects of ginger when she left a combination of wine & ginger in her fridge for months. Her winemaking partner, Will Henry, realized they may have stumbled upon a natural antioxidant that could be used in place of sulfites to protect the wine. Will's father, an icon in the industry, had always told his son that whoever found a natural alternative to sulfites would start a wine revolution. Hence Hey Ginger was born, a wine with only two ingredients: organic grapes and fresh ginger root. Viva la revolucion!
