Producer Background: Otto's Constant Dream is a label that focuses on creating wines that are both approachable and unique, reflecting the adventurous spirit of its creators. The brand is committed to sustainable practices and minimal intervention, ensuring that each bottle of OCD wine is a true reflection of the vineyard and the vintage.

Grape Variety & Terroir: The OCD Pet-Nat is made from a blend of grapes, typically featuring varieties that are well-suited to sparkling wine production. These could include Sauvignon Blanc, Chenin Blanc, or other local varieties depending on the vintage. The grapes are sourced from vineyards that are farmed organically or sustainably, often from regions known for their cool climates, which help preserve the acidity and freshness essential for Pet-Nat wines.

Winemaking Process: Pet-Nat wines are made using the méthode ancestrale, an ancient winemaking technique where the wine is bottled before the primary fermentation is complete, allowing it to finish fermenting in the bottle. This process creates natural bubbles and a slightly cloudy appearance, as the wine is often unfiltered. The result is a sparkling wine that is lively, fresh, and full of character, with each bottle offering a unique expression of the wine.

Flavor Profile: OCD Pet-Nat is known for its bright and zesty flavor profile, often featuring notes of citrus, green apple, and tropical fruits, along with a touch of yeastiness from the natural fermentation. The wine is typically dry, with a crisp acidity that makes it incredibly refreshing and easy to drink.

Pairings: This Pet-Nat pairs wonderfully with a variety of foods, making it a versatile choice for casual gatherings or special occasions. It’s perfect with fresh seafood, light salads, and soft cheeses. Its bright acidity also makes it a great match for spicy dishes or as a delightful aperitif.
