Collection: NATURAL WINE

While there is no official definition of "Natural Wine", it is loosely defined as wine that uses grapes that are grown using organic or biodynamic farming practices which are then hand picked and fermented only using native yeasts found on the vine. The wine is then bottled without filtering or fining with little to no sulphur.

Conventional wines sold in your local shop are not produced using organic or biodynamic farming methods. Some wines suggest that they are "Organic" however they are typically high intervention wines that the vast majority use added yeasts to manufacture flavors. There can also be added colorings, sulfites, acid and sugar. They also can use several different techniques of fining and clarifying agents. 

Natural Wine refers more to an ancient set of viticulture and winemaking practices and philosophies which were put in place long before the development of the many modern technologies that are used to grow and produce "conventional" wines today.

Natural wines are produced using grapes that are grown using strictly organic and/or biodynamic farming practices. The fruit is hand picked, hand sorted and fermented only using only the indigenous yeasts that exist in nature. Natural wines are typically bottled without filtering or fining and with minimal added sulphur.
