- TASTING NOTE: "12 years of the Astro Bunny! How wonderful. This vintage sees a blend of fiano, malvasia bianco, nero d'Avola, prieto picudo and montepulciano. The hue is that of a peach heart jelly, mirrored in its bouquet of pink grapefruit, lychee, Turkish delight, orange blossom, a little lemon thyme and white stone fruit. Of course, some funk here, but a purity, too, and it drinks well for it. This wine has been pivotal to the trajectory of the style in the country and, indeed, a quality option for those chasing it. Delicious." 94 Points - Katrina Butler, Halliday Wine Companion
- ABOUT THE WINE: 2025 was a once in a lifetime vintage – hot, dry and very, very fast. At times it felt like we were holding onto a rocket ship, but in true Astro Bunny style, we shot for the stars – hoping to land on the moon! A year like this requires constant vigilance in the vineyard and almost daily tasting of fruit to determine when the flavour ripeness catches up with the sugars. Pick too early and you’ll have those green, underripe flavours in the final wine, hold your nerve and you’ll get balanced flavours, but risk higher sugars and higher final alcohols. We opted for the latter approach, and because we don’t make any adjustments in the winery the wine ended up being at least one degree of alcohol higher than usual, but this juicy, fruit forward version of Astro Bunny (and Piggy Pop) are a true reflection of an exceptional and unusual vintage.

ABOUT THE PRODUCER: The 2025 vintage marks twelve years of Wildman Wine pét-nats, and the second using 100% fully biodynamic and organic fruit. The aim from when we started back in 2014 remains the same to this day, to make South Australian sparkling pét-nats that are fresh, fruity, foaming, fun and fault free using climate appropriate Mediterranean varieties.
