What Is Pét-Nat Wine?
Pét-nat is short for pétillant naturel, which translates as "naturally sparkling." It is made using the méthode ancestrale — the oldest method of producing sparkling wine in the world.
Rather than going through a secondary fermentation to develop bubbles, as Champagne and Prosecco do, a pét-nat is bottled before its primary fermentation is complete. The wine finishes fermenting in the bottle, trapping natural carbon dioxide without any added yeast, sugar, or dosage.
The result is a wine that is alive, expressive, and often lightly hazy. The style demands genuinely good fruit, because there is nothing added to compensate for shortcomings in the vineyard. That is exactly why FAB only stocks certified organic pét-nats: the integrity of the method and the integrity of the farming belong together.
Why Buy Pét-Nat from FAB?
Most retailers stock a handful of pét-nats alongside their broader sparkling range. FAB's collection is dedicated entirely to certified organic and biodynamic examples, curated from small artisan producers across Australia, Austria, France, Italy, and Spain. Our range spans styles from structured and mineral to fruity and frankly anarchic, so whether you are trying the style for the first time or hunting a specific producer, you will find something here that earns its place.
We ship Australia-wide with free delivery on orders over $200, and our team is available to help you choose the right bottle for the occasion.
Our Organic Pét-Nat Collection
Castagna – Sparkling 'Allegro' Ancestrale 2018 — $50 | Beechworth, Australia
Castagna is one of Beechworth's most respected biodynamic producers, and this ancestral-method wine made from Syrah and Viognier is the Australian benchmark in the collection. It brings old-school sparkling technique to a modern standard of precision: structured, dry, and deeply serious without ever losing its sense of place. If you want to understand what Australian pét-nat is capable of, this is the bottle to open.
Celler de les Aus – Cava 'Bruant' 2020 — $49 | Catalonia, Spain
Made from certified organic Pansa Blanca (Xarel-lo) vines in Alta Alella, this is one of the most structured and precise ancestral method wines in the collection. It is produced with zero dosage and no added sulphur, hand-harvested and aged on lees, which gives it a mineral backbone and a bone-dry finish that sets it apart from anything in the conventional sparkling category. Disciplined, expressive, and made entirely without compromise.
Château Tour des Gendres – Pétillant Naturel 2020 — $30 | Bergerac, France
Château Tour des Gendres is one of Bergerac's most trusted certified organic family producers, and this pét-nat is the most accessible entry point in the collection without feeling like a compromise. It is lively and moderately alcoholic, with bright fruity aromas and enough energy to work as an aperitif, a picnic bottle, or a mid-week treat. At $30, it delivers well above its price and makes the ancestral method feel effortlessly inviting.
Christoph Hoch – Kalkspitz NV — $49 | Kremstal, Austria
Christoph Hoch works in the Kremstal and is widely regarded as one of Austria's defining voices in the pét-nat style, and Kalkspitz — named for the limestone soils it is grown on — is the clearest expression of why. It delivers saline texture, precise mineral length, and a focus that rewards attention rather than demanding it. This is a must-try for anyone serious about the ancestral method, and it is the kind of wine that changes the way you think about sparkling altogether.
Christoph Hoch – Rosé Rurale NV — $55 | Kremstal, Austria
This is Christoph Hoch's rosé expression of the ancestral method, and it is one of the most versatile bottles in the collection. Blood orange and strawberry sit at the centre of the palate, interwoven with the saline minerality that defines Hoch's style, which means it works equally well with brunch, with a plate of seafood, or with nothing at all — just a glass and somewhere comfortable to sit. It is the pét-nat for the label-lover and the palate-chaser in equal measure.
Harkamp – Völlig Losgelöst Pét-Nat NV — $43 | Austria
Völlig Losgelöst translates roughly as "completely let go," and that is an accurate description of what Harkamp does with this wine. It is cloudy, characterful, and unapologetically funky — the kind of pét-nat that does not try to make itself easier to understand. If you want to know what the ancestral method is capable of when a winemaker backs their instincts completely and leaves the fruit to do the talking, this is where you start.
Jasci & Marchesani – FRIZZ Blanco 2022 — $35 | Abruzzo, Italy
Nicola Jasci's Frizzante Blanco is light, lifted, and built entirely for warm-weather drinking. It dances on the palate from the first sip — fresh, aromatic, and effortlessly fun — and it has a way of disappearing from the glass faster than you planned. Made in Abruzzo with certified organic fruit and minimal intervention, this is the bottle you open when the occasion calls for something uncomplicated and genuinely good.
Jasci & Marchesani – FRIZZ Rosé 2022 — $35 | Abruzzo, Italy
The rosé counterpart to the Blanco brings the same producer, the same ancestral conviction, and the same crowd-pleasing energy — with a little more colour and a little more red-fruit depth. Currants, cherries, and florals run through every sip, giving the wine a gentle, expressive character that makes it one of the easiest bottles in the collection to reach for. It is the kind of pét-nat that works at a dinner table, at a picnic, or anywhere the afternoon needs a nudge in the right direction.
Padroggi–La Piotta – MISunderstanding 2 2020 — $34 | Italy
Padroggi–La Piotta brings a playful irreverence to the ancestral method, and MISunderstanding 2 is exactly what its name suggests: a wine that defies a straightforward explanation and is better for it. It is packed with currants, cherries, and florals, full of gentle expressive energy, and the kind of bottle that disappears quietly and completely at a dinner table before anyone thinks to check how much is left. At $34, it is very hard to argue with.
Vignato – Primo Incontro Garganega Frizzante 2020 — $27 | Veneto, Italy
Made from 100% Garganega — the same variety behind Soave — this lo-fi pét-nat from the volcanic hills of the Veneto is produced without sulphur additions and left unfiltered, which gives it a naturally hazy pour and a quietly expressive character. White flower, apple, and a characteristic bitter-almond finish make it feel distinctly Italian and distinctly honest. At $27, it is the best-value bottle in the collection and a genuinely rewarding introduction to an underrated variety.
Vin de Soif – Pétillant Naturel 2021 — $35 | Australia
Vin de Soif's Pétillant Naturel is a blend of Viognier, Marsanne, and Riesling that captures something distinctly Australian: generous, sun-warmed fruit balanced by enough freshness to keep it lively from the first glass to the last. Peach, apple, and white florals lead into a harmoniously dry finish, and the light spritz keeps the whole thing feeling effortless. It is Australian sunshine in a bottle, made without intervention and better for it.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is pét-nat wine the same as natural wine?
Pét-nat and natural wine are related but not the same thing. Pét-nat refers specifically to a production method — the méthode ancestrale, in which wine is bottled before primary fermentation is complete to create natural bubbles. Natural wine is a broader, loosely defined category that covers any wine made with minimal intervention in the vineyard and winery. A pét-nat can be a natural wine, but not all natural wines are pét-nats, and not all pét-nats carry formal certification. At FAB, every pét-nat in the collection is independently certified organic or biodynamic, which goes beyond the natural wine label.
How is pét-nat different from Champagne and Prosecco?
Champagne undergoes two fermentations: the first to produce a base wine, and a second inside the bottle to create bubbles, after which the sediment is removed and a dosage of sugar and wine is added before sealing. Prosecco uses the Charmat method, in which the second fermentation happens in a pressurised tank rather than the bottle. Pét-nat uses neither of these processes. It is bottled mid-way through its first and only fermentation, which means the bubbles are entirely natural and no sugar, yeast, or additional wine is ever added. The result is a softer, more textural mousse and a more expressive, less uniform style.
Should pét-nat wine be decanted before serving?
Pét-nat should not be decanted. Because it is an unfiltered, living wine, it carries natural sediment that is part of its character rather than a flaw. The best approach is to chill the bottle well — ideally to around 8 to 10 degrees Celsius — and open it slowly over a sink or a glass to manage the natural effervescence. Some producers recommend a gentle inversion of the bottle before opening to redistribute the lees evenly through the wine, which gives a more consistent pour and a cloudier, richer result.
How long does pét-nat wine last once opened?
Pét-nat is best consumed within 24 to 48 hours of opening. Because it contains no added sulphur and relies entirely on natural carbonation, it loses its effervescence and freshness relatively quickly once the seal is broken. A wine stopper or Champagne stopper will help preserve the bubbles for a short time, but pét-nat is designed to be enjoyed in one sitting rather than cellared across multiple days. Unlike conventional sparkling wines, it is not built for longevity — which is part of what makes the occasion of opening one feel worth marking.
Can pét-nat wine be cellared or aged?
Most pét-nat wines are intended to be drunk young, typically within one to three years of the vintage, when the fruit is at its most vibrant and the natural carbonation is at its liveliest. The style is not generally suited to long-term cellaring because it lacks the added sulphur and structural tannin that help conventional wines develop with age. That said, some producers — particularly those working with more structured varieties or in cooler climates — make pét-nats that reward an extra year or two in the cellar. If you are unsure whether a specific bottle is built to age, the FAB team is available to advise before you order.
