Trail Estate Winery Pét Nat in Prince Edward County<br /><br />Jules and I took a drive about 2 hours East of where we live in Toronto to visit “Terroir 2018” in Picturesque Picton, Prince Edward County. The ‘County’ is a booming Canadian wine region that is producing some great wines at smaller scale wineries that are willing to take chances and push the craft forward.<br />Today we are speaking with winemaker Mackenzie Brisbois and tasting the Trail Estates Winery ‘Pét Nat’ (Pétillant Naturel).<br />This wine is 60% Riesling, 30% Geisenheim and 10% Gewürztraminer — from the Trail Estates Winery vineyard. It’s bottled part way through a wild-ferment on skin - about 8 days - without any additions (no extra yeasts, sugars or sulphurs) this yields naturally ocurring bubbles, in a wine that is visually cloudy. A very complex and refreshing wine!<br />
