Winemaking Hand-harvested at night on October 1st, at the end of what was a cool, moderate-to-high rainfall vintage (15 inches) that allowed for slow, even ripening just before conditions shifted. The fruit was pressed and co-fermented to 2.3 Brix, then bottled to retain natural CO₂, with primary fermentation finishing in bottle. Each bottle was disgorged to remove heavy sediments and recapped. Fermented on native yeasts, with no corrections, fining, filtration, or added sulfites.
Aging 3 months on the lees before disgorging.
Alcohol by Volume 12.1%
Annual Production 110 cases
Markets Texas

The Character

Overall From the color to the nose, to the pallet, perfect sparkling
Aromas Bright red fruits, plum skins, fresh flowers
Mouthfeel Small bubbles, bright acid, an absolute delight
Tasting Notes Pleasure seekers, round two—and this time it’s on another level. A cool, well-watered growing season delivered near-perfect conditions, but what truly sets this vintage apart is how much Veronica learned from the year before. The result is a pet-nat that is brighter, more precise, and even more irresistible than its predecessor. Elegant yet hedonistic, it confirms what the Mina Penelope vineyards have been quietly saying all along: in this place, these red grapes have a natural gift for sparkling wine. Still early in the life of the project, this bottling feels like a major leap forward—effortless, joyful, and completely off the charts.
Selling Point incredibly bright, complex and layered sparkling
Pairings Virtually anything, but especially spicy foods, salads, and seafood.
Sustainability Vegan, Green Practicing, Sustainable In Practice, Minimal Intervention / Augmentation, Natural Fermentation, No Sulfites Added
