The Story

Tasting notes for Minimum 'Alt' Pét Nat 2023

GRAPES

100% Syrah.
13% Alc/vol.

FIELD NOTES

Our harvest in 2023 was decimated by Spring floods. The floods submerged various parts of the vineyard under 2m of water from days to weeks, and 95% of the harvest was lost. We couldn't risk any of the red grapes that survived getting fully ripe due to persistent damp weather and the resulting mildew pressure. So we picked this tiny Syrah harvest early, direct pressed it into a stainless steel tank to capture its purity, left it to wild ferment with a mix of grief from the lost harvest, and joy for this little harvest that was salvaged. Hand-bottled with laughter and love at just the right moment to capture the natural carbonation. Zero sulphur. Pure Sonny energy.

Embracing seasonal cooking, village life and traditions of the past, and charting their journey in two books, Grown & Gathered and The Village.

With their newest project, Minimum Wines, Matt returned to his roots in partnership with his father, head winemaker Alister Purbrick of Central Victoria’s heritage Tahbilk winery. There have been five generations of Purbricks at Tahbilk, and Matt has childhood memories of checking the ferments with Dad.

Matt & Lentil grow their grapes on 125-acre vineyard near Toolamba, on the Goulburn River in Victoria, which is certified organic and uses regenerative principles. They will never use synthetic inputs and only add naturally derived inputs where needed to help improve soil microbiology, nutrient cycling, carbon sequestration and vine health.
