Natural wine has no uniform definition. It is a general term used to describe artisanal wine made using organically and/or biodynamically 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
A beautiful pomelo rose color, slightly darker than traditional rosés from Provence, but with a beautiful and lively intensity. Complex aromas of red fruit, mainly cherries and raspberries that turns into buttery notes of vanilla. A round, fruity taste attack with elegant touches of toast coming from the oak aging. A long final with finesse reminiscent of sweet almonds.
