Civic Winery's Amphora Pet Nat is a pétillant naturel rosé made from 66% Pinot Noir and 34% Chardonnay sourced from Johan Vineyard in Oregon's Van Duzer Corridor AVA. Johan is a 175-acre Demeter-certified biodynamic estate where farming follows Rudolf Steiner's biodynamic preparations, no-till practices, and cover crops managed in part by on-site sheep and chickens. The vineyard's marine sedimentary soils over siltstone bedrock, combined with afternoon Pacific winds funneling through the Coast Range gap at speeds 40–50% stronger than the broader Willamette Valley, produce fruit with firm natural acidity and thicker skins.
The wine is fermented and aged in Oregon-made terracotta amphora produced by Andrew Beckham's Novum Ceramics in the Chehalem Mountains. Fermentation begins spontaneously with native yeast and is arrested before completion, then bottled under crown cap to complete its secondary fermentation in the bottle — the méthode ancestrale. The wine is not disgorged, not fined, not filtered, and contains no added sulfites.
In the glass it pours with a slight haze and fine, persistent bubbles typical of an undisgorged pet nat. Expect red fruit notes of strawberry and rhubarb with a bright, refreshing finish and the light texture that comes from amphora fermentation rather than oak or stainless steel.
