Winemaker Notes

Pet Nat Rose has become one of our most popular features of our Pet Nat program. Much different than typical sparkling wines, the finished wine has a unique raw character, loaded with energy and charisma. Blend: 86% Cabernet Franc, 14% Chardonnay. Field Recordings Pet Nat Rose offers flavors of Oxnard plains strawberries, fresh rosemary sourdough loaves and a hint of jade citrus mint tea.

This wine pairs well with early springs, giant bowls of fruit salad at the company potluck and Sunday Funday.

Winery Notes

Field Recordings is 40-year old winemaker Andrew Jones’ personal catalog of the people and places he values most. Spending his days as a vine nursery fieldman planning and planting vineyards for farmers all over California, Andrew is sometimes offered small lots of their best fruit on the side. Having stood in just about every vineyard on the Central Coast, he has a keen eye for diamonds in the rough: sites that are unknown or under-appreciated but hold enormous untapped potential. As friendships are made and opportunities are embraced, Andrew produces small quantities of soulful wine from these unusual, quiet vineyards.
