Lost in a Field, Frolic Pet-Nat 2022

The 2021 Lost in a Field "Frolic" pét-nat is a blend of 21 heritage grape varieties from vineyards in seven English and Welsh counties, most of which were planted in the 1980s and 1990s with the oldest being established in 1973. The wine is made from a majority of Madeleine Angevine for aromatics, Reichensteiner for acidity, Schönburger for perfume, with Triomphe d'Alsace, Rondo and Cabernet Noir for colour, with small amounts of Seyval Blanc, Frühburgunder, Ortega, Dornfelder, Solaris, Regent, Huxelrebe, Muller Thurgau, Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier, Phoenix, Bacchus, Siegerrebe, Madeleine Sylvaner and Leon Millot. 

1,512 bottles have been made of the 2021 so grab one while you can!

Lost in a Field is on a mission to rescue the fast disappearing heritage grape varieties planted in the UK in the last century and to craft them into delicious, low intervention pét-nat using traditional winemaking methods. Established by Tim Wildman MW in 2021 helped by Darcy Gander (vineyard) and Daniel Ham (winery). This is our Great British old vine story, seen through the technicolour prism of the German hybrid and cross heritage grape varieties planted in the 1960s, 70s and 80s by eccentric amateurs. Back then the nascent British wine industry was based on a Burgundian model, of small plots established by grower-maker vignerons working out of garden sheds and garages, a stark contrast to the modern era of corporate brands and business models.
