Fuchs Und Hase Pet Nat Vol. 1 Arndorfer & Jurtschitsch, Organic, no added sulphur, delicate, peach, herbal, Muller-Thurgau, Gruner Veltliner and Sauvignon. This delicious little wine is from Austrian producers Martin & Anna Arndorfer and their friends Alwin & Stefanie Jurtschitsch who decided to set up a winery dedicated to Pet Nat (single fermentation sparkling wines). This intriguing blend of Muller-Thurgau, Gruner Veltliner and Sauvignon Blanc has glorious, delicate aromas of blossom, peach and apple. In the palate the wine is cleansing, crisp and pleasing, with a subtle hint of nettle which just tingles your tastebuds. A lovely example of Pet Nat from these excellent Natural producers. The fermentation is with Natural Yeast and there is no addition of sulphur, and no filtration. Pure delight.
Martin & Anna Arndorfer and Alwin & Stefanie Jurtschitsch are good friends from the neighbouring villages of Strass and Langenlois. They spend lots of time together tasting in their cellars and philosophising about wine with beer in hand. One day they decided to do a joint project and so Fuchs und Hase was born. Fuchs und Hase means “fox and hare” after an Austrian saying: “Where fox and hare say good night…” - meaning a very remote place mainly surrounded by forest. In order to make high end cool climate Pet Nat they had to find the most appropriate vineyards, which turned out to be naturally cooler sites at high altitude (they were seeking natural acidity and low alcohol). They selected some small parcels from each of the family vineyards, and, as it happened these sites were all near forests.
