LS Merchants Fools Gold Pet Nat 2024 from Margaret River is exactly the kind of fun, cloudy fizz you want in the fridge all summer – bright, energetic and a little bit wild, but still clean and smashable in classic LS style. LS Merchants Fools Gold Pet Nat 2024 typically pours a hazy straw‑gold with a foamy bead and loads of personality on first pour.

In the glass you can expect crunchy green apple, lemon zest, grapefruit, juicy pear and a hint of tropicals, with a little bread‑dough and savoury edge from the natural fermentation. It’s light‑to‑medium in body, zippy in acidity and joyously fizzy, finishing dry and refreshing rather than sweet, so every sip feels palate‑cleansing and moreish.

For food, LS Merchants Fools Gold Pet Nat 2024 is a dead‑set winner with fried chicken, fish and chips, oysters, prawn rolls or salt‑and‑pepper squid, where the bubbles and acidity rip through salt and batter. It also sings alongside soft cheeses, charcuterie, picnic spreads or a simple margherita pizza, making it the ultimate good‑times bottle for park hangs and backyard sessions.
