El Bandito I Wish I Was A Ninja

This is a pet-nat (the name comes from the French term petillant naturel, which translates as ‘natural sparkling’) wine from traditional-rule-breaking hip young winemakers (god, I sound like my mother) in South Africa’s Swartland region. The fact that the label simply says ‘Made from grapes’ gives you an idea of their approach. Basically, a big two fingers to any wine stuffiness. I adore this wine, fresh and frothy and full of lemon sherbet flavours. Seriously, it tastes happy.
