Johan Vineyards Pét-Nat of Melon 2020
Each vintage we build a greater understanding of the idiosyncrasies of each wine we produce from each variety we farm. Going on year five working with the Melon from this site, we feel we are just beginning to harness the best expression possible from this variety.
The Johan Vineyards Pét-Nat of Melon is unbridled yet soft, with more of a frizzante style bubble profile. After a short 3-hour maceration on the skins, extracting phenolics and golden gifts from the ripe skin, we pressed and slowly fermented the juice in tank before bottling.
The wine is evocative of the sweet and luscious qualities of mandarin and clementine. Yeasty aromatics give way to notes of citrus, not unlike your favorite mimosa. The lees in contact for fermentation emphasize the slightly tart backbone of this wine and provide a slight kiss of provocative bitterness.

Pétillant Naturel is a method of producing sparkling wine, also referred to as “Methode Ancestrale”, where the carbonation occurs from bottling the wine during the primary, alcoholic fermentation – in order to capture the carbon dioxide that is being naturally released.
This sparkling wine was made from all estate-grown, Demeter certified Biodynamic® Melon de Bourgogne grapes. We grafted this Loire variety into the vineyard in 2011, but it wasn’t until 2016 that we took the opportunity to experiment with the Melon grapes using the same techniques applied to our original Pét-Nat of Pinot Noir.
