ABOUT THIS WINE
The Peter & Paul Pet Nat on Skins is an organic certified wine from Winzerhof Hoch in the Kremstal region of Austria. The 'Peter & Paul' wines are a collaborative effort between Harald Hoch and his son Christoph, named after antique wooden figures of Saints Petrus and Paulus dating back to 1640. The Hoch family's history as master mariners for over 300 years on the Danube influences their viticultural philosophy. The vineyards are situated in Hollenburg, characterized by the Hollenburger Conglomerate and chalky soils, contributing to the unique expression of the wines. This Pet Nat is produced 'on skins', indicating a specific maceration technique.

WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Peter & Paul Pet Nat on Skins is produced using a two-part vinification process. Approximately 80% of the wine is fermented classically in stainless steel tanks with selected yeast and aged reductively. The remaining 20% undergoes spontaneous fermentation in wooden barrels and is aged oxidatively without sulfurization, characteristic of a Pétillant Naturel. The 'on skins' designation indicates that this portion, or the entire wine, has undergone maceration with grape skins, a technique that can influence color, texture, and flavor. The vineyards are certified organic, with a focus on targeted pruning and gentle soil cultivation.
