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.
Winemaker's Notes
In the glass, the wine is an intense ruby red, with a vinous aroma, a dry, pleasantly bitter taste in which there are recurrent hints of dog roses and in which the fruitiness is successfully wedded to the tang of tannin.
