Natural Wines
Natural Wine Definition:
According to latest edition of The Oxford Companion to Wine:
- Grapes are typically grown by small-scale, independent producers.
- Grapes are hand-picked from sustainable, organic, or biodynamic vineyards.
- Wine is fermented with no added yeast (ie. native yeasts).
- No additives are included in fermentation (yeast nutrients, etc).
- Little or no sulfites are added.
Please be mindful there is no official or regulated definition of term natural wine.
Alongside the fact many producers have been making clean wine before this became a talking-point.
