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.

There is no official or regulated definition of natural wine.
