Sziegl – Pet Nat

The Sziegl Pet Nat is an incredibly vibrant, ancestral-method sparkling wine that showcases the playful and raw energy of the Hajós-Baja wine region.

Handcrafted by the inspiring winemaking couple Petra and Balázs Sziegl, this living bottle is a joyful testament to low-intervention viticulture.

It perfectly reflects the unpolished charm of their deep, sandy soil vineyards.

The Terroir & Taste Profile

Pouring a beautifully cloudy, unfiltered hue, the Sziegl Pet Nat delivers an absolute explosion of fresh fruit and enchanting aromatics directly out of the glass. The nose bursts with energetic notes of crisp pear, ripe pineapple, and elderflower. On the palate, the natural bubbles are wonderfully lively, dancing across the tongue alongside tight citrus flavors. It is defined by a bright, electric acidity that ensures the sparkling wine stays flawlessly balanced and dangerously drinkable.

Ancestral Method Winemaking

True to their hands-on philosophy, the grapes are grown using strict organic farming practices. Following a careful hand-harvest in their historic cellar village, the juice undergoes a completely spontaneous fermentation driven by native yeasts. Before the fermentation finishes, the wine is bottled under a crown cap, allowing the remaining natural sugars to complete their transformation inside the bottle to capture the fine, natural effervescence. It is released entirely raw, unfined, unfiltered, and without any added sulfur.

Food Pairing & Serving Tips

This dangerously refreshing sparkling wine is highly versatile. It acts as a flawless aperitif or pairs wonderfully with summer salads, fresh seafood, creamy pastas, or light charcuterie boards. To experience its full, raw texture and aromatic bouquet, serve it well-chilled between 6–8°C.
