Lo Bo May Pet Nat NV from Blewitt Springs Wine Co in McLaren Vale is a wildly refreshing, preservative‑free, low‑alcohol sparkling that shows a dusty peach hue, hazy appearance and fine, foamy bead in the glass. This Lo Bo May Pet Nat leans heavily on bush‑vine Grenache and lo‑fi winemaking to deliver a pure, naturally fizzy expression of Blewitt Springs fruit.

On the nose, Lo Bo May Pet Nat bursts with tart strawberries, pink grapefruit, citrus zest and orange‑Berocca‑like vibrancy, with a faint talc and musk note adding a playful, savoury edge. The palate is bright, lively and pleasingly dry, offering crisp red‑berry and citrus flavours, mineral sapidity and gentle texture from wild ferment, all carried by a light frizzante and ultra‑refreshing low alcohol. It’s tasty as, and absolutely built to drink cold and swiftly – a pet‑nat that could even convert the sceptics.

For food, Lo Bo May Pet Nat is spot‑on with fresh seafood, fried chicken, salty snacks, soft cheeses and picnic‑style grazing – think fish tacos, tempura prawns, charcuterie, chips and dips. It’s also a cracking brunch or aperitif bottle, matching beautifully with crunchy green salads, sushi and light Asian dishes where its tangy fruit and gentle fizz really come alive.
