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
The nose on this is amazingly expressive - a Gewürztraminer-bouquet of roses, nutmeg and very ripe fruit - and it's smooth and fresh on the palate, with nice acidity, pithy tannins and good length.
