This ancient winemaking approach—used for thousands of years and revamped in the 20th century—emphasizes methods that have stood the test of time.
Here’s what makes natural wine unique:
– Organic or Biodynamic Farming: Grapes are grown with organic or biodynamic practices, avoiding synthetic pesticides and chemicals—just nature at work.
– Minimal Intervention: Natural fermentation with indigenous yeasts—those found naturally on the grape skin.
– Limited or No Sulfites: Natural wines either limit or eliminate added sulfites, preserving the wine’s raw, authentic flavors. Sulfites are present at very low levels in all wines because they are naturally produced during fermentation.
– No Additives, Just Quality: Though free from additives, natural wine is crafted with care, focusing on delivering a product that’s natural, yet delicious, balanced, and full of character.
Natural wine is a commitment to authenticity, sustainability, and a deeper connection with nature.
