    The Work Today

    Fresh sparkling wine sets the terms of Mayer’s work at Mayersistas. That focus shapes a portfolio oriented toward brightness and motion, with the structure that suggests fine bubbles, crisp edges, and a clean finish. For Mayer, freshness is not an accent; it is the organizing principle. That approach is carried through the wines associated with her name. Mayer’s signature wines include Frizzante, Pet Nat, Mayersistas Pét Nat Grüner Veltliner, and 2021 Pet Nat Brut Nature. Each sits within the same sparkling vocabulary, from the more approachable lift of Frizzante to the textured, natural-leaning character of Pet Nat and the varietal clarity of Mayersistas Pét Nat Grüner Veltliner. The 2021 Pet Nat Brut Nature adds another point of reference, showing how her work keeps to freshness and restraint. Taken together, these wines point to a winemaker working with nuance: how sparkle shifts flavor, how texture carries a wine across the palate, and how freshness can define a house style.
