“Natural Wine” is one of the hottest buzz concepts in the wine world
today. Very simply, it is wine produced without chemicals and minimal
technological intervention in the grape growing and winemaking. Although most
is made organically and biodynamically, it differs in its winemaking and cellar
practice. Nothing is added or removed during winemaking. Criteria include dry
farming resulting in low yields; hand-harvested grapes only; no added sugars,
foreign yeasts or bacteria; no acid adjustments; no additives for colour, mouth
feel or minerality; minimal or no oak contact; minimal or no fining or
filtration; no manipulation techniques to enhance flavour whatsoever, and
minimal or no added sulfites.
