The Natural Wine Movement

The Natural Wine Movement emphasizes minimal intervention in both grape-growing and winemaking, focusing on expressing the true character of the vineyard. This approach typically involves organic or biodynamic farming, native yeasts for fermentation, little to no added chemicals or sulfites, and non-interventionist technique. The movement values authenticity and ecological sustainability, aiming to produce wines that are pure, unique, and reflective of their environment. While sometimes resulting in unconventional flavors, natural wines are celebrated for their transparency and connection to nature, offering an alternative to commercially produced wines with added substances and standardization.
