Meeker Pop Punk Sparkling Viognier Natural Wine 2023

The Meeker Vineyard’s 2023 Viognier Pét-Nat is a celebration of artisanal winemaking tradition crafted using méthode ancestrale—a centuries-old technique predating modern sparkling wine methods. Hailing from Knights Valley in Sonoma County, this unfiltered sparkling wine captures the essence of natural fermentation in every bottle. Unlike conventional bubbly, this Pét-Nat is hand-bottled mid-fermentation to lock in its lively effervescence and embrace its cloudy character—a hallmark of authentic ancestral winemaking.

The result is a vibrant sparkler with a hazy elegance reminiscent of craft Hazy IPAs or artisan ciders. The lees (yeast particles) left in the bottle during aging contribute depth and complexity to its floral aromas and crisp citrus flavors while giving it a distinctive textured appearance. To fully enjoy its cloudy brilliance, gently swirl the bottle before pouring to distribute the settled lees back into the wine—a ritual that enhances both taste and presentation.

Perfect for sipping solo or pairing with light fare like seafood salads or spiced nuts, this Viognier Pét-Nat offers a refreshing alternative to traditional Champagne or Prosecco. Its organic fermentation process ensures a lively yet approachable profile at 12.7% ABV, making it ideal for casual gatherings or exploring natural wines.

Crafted by The Meeker Vineyard’s skilled team, this limited-release vintage honors hands-on craftsmanship while delivering a sensory experience rooted in authenticity—cloudy texture included!
