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.

Tasting Notes
Such a generous wine and a great introduction to Judith's style. The fruit is ripe pear apple and peach, with a clean, fresh acidity that cuts it all through. Lots of nice floral notes. Weissburgunder is the name the Austrians give Pinot Blanc, so this wine would most definitely be the bag of those looking for an alternative to the fleshier dry wines of the Alsace.
