Natural wine has no uniform definition. It is a general term used to describe artisanal wine made using organically and/or biodynamically grown hand-picked grapes which are vinified with little or no intervention. Winemakers often rely on indigenous yeast to catalyse natural fermentation, avoiding the use of any chemicals, additives or sulphites.
The result is wine which is alive, energetic, vibrant and unexpected – a welcomed contrast to the industrial practices of the wine industry. Valentina Passalacqua

Tasting Notes
Something to pour over ice with a citrus slice and slurp on before dinner - this is Partida's take on the classic Catalan vermut - it has a bit more sweetness than Italian vermouth so can be drunk neat with a slice of orange, although a splash of soda, or even a little sparkling wine is never a bad thing.
