Tried these two last night:
1. Melanthia White Semi-Sparkling Wine Black Muscat of Tyrnavos (10.5%; EklektikonImprts/Wilmington/DE) Papras Wnry/Tyrnavos/Greece 2022: Med.light amber color w/ tons of tiny bubbles that foam up when poured; slight muscatty/black muscat rather earthy slight funky/natty/bretty bit pungent/ozone unattractive nose; rather fizzy bit off-dry fairly earthy/rustic slight muscatty/floral/black muscat slight natty/funky little fruit flavor; fairly fizzy slight muscatty/floral bit rustic/earthy slight natty/funky finish; not a very attractive pet-nat & a bit unclean/funky/bretty; you do pick up a bit of the black muscat character. $26.00 (KK)

More geigerclic from TheBloodyPulpit:
1. This is the 2'nd natural/skin-contact wine I've tried from PaprasWnry. Both have been nor very good & a bit too bretty/natty in character. Probably won't bother trying them again.
