🌿 Why It Works

Pét-nat rosé wines tend to be light, zesty, and slightly funky with bright berry notes and a touch of yeasty sparkle. The creamy tang of labneh, the nutty crunch of dukkah, and the soft chew of flatbread create texture and contrast that complement the wine beautifully. It’s simple, casual, and full of flavor.

📝 Ingredients

For the Labneh:

  • 500g (2 cups) full-fat Greek yogurt
  • Pinch of salt

For the Dukkah:

  • 1/4 cup hazelnuts or almonds
  • 1 tbsp sesame seeds
  • 1 tbsp coriander seeds
  • 1 tbsp cumin seeds
  • Pinch of salt

To Serve:

  • Extra virgin olive oil
  • Warm flatbread (store-bought or homemade)
  • Fresh herbs (optional, like mint or parsley)

👩‍🍳 Method

  1. Make the Labneh: Line a strainer with cheesecloth, place over a bowl, and spoon in the yogurt with a pinch of salt. Let it drain in the fridge for 12–24 hours until thick and creamy.
  2. Toast the Dukkah: In a dry skillet, toast nuts and seeds separately until fragrant. Cool slightly, then pulse in a food processor or grind with a mortar and pestle to a coarse crumble. Add salt to taste.
  3. Assemble: Spread labneh on a serving plate. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle generously with dukkah. Garnish with fresh herbs if desired.
  4. Serve with warm flatbread for dipping.

🍷 Wine Pairing: Pét-Nat Rosé

Pét-nat (pétillant naturel) rosé is a naturally sparkling wine made with minimal intervention. It’s bottled before fermentation finishes, trapping natural CO₂ and creating a lively, bubbly texture. Rosé pét-nats often bring red berry fruit, citrus, florals, and gentle funk—making them ultra food-friendly.

Recommended Bottles:

  • Agnès & René Mosse Moussamoussettes (France) – Fruity, fun, and lightly fizzy
  • Meinklang Frizzante Rosé (Austria) – Bright, biodynamic, and balanced
  • La Grange Tiphaine Nouveau Nez (Loire) – Berry-driven with a soft, natural sparkle
