WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Polaris Pet Nat is crafted using the Pétillant Naturel method, a traditional technique where the wine is bottled before primary fermentation is complete, allowing natural carbonation to develop. Noita Winery employs a minimal intervention philosophy, utilizing spontaneous fermentation with native yeasts and eschewing fining and filtering. This approach aims to preserve the natural character of the Solaris grape and the unique Finnish terroir. The wine is designed for immediate enjoyment, with no extended aging planned, emphasizing its fresh and vibrant profile.
