Natural Wine — Made with Less, Tasting Like More

Natural wine is made with minimal intervention: organic or biodynamic farming, hand-harvested grapes, native wild yeast fermentation, and little to no added sulfites. No flavor additives, no fining agents, no manipulation. What you get is wine that tastes like the grape and the place it came from — sometimes cloudy, sometimes funky, always honest.

What exactly makes a wine "natural"?

There's no official legal definition, but natural wine typically means: certified organic or biodynamic farming, fermentation with native (wild) yeast rather than commercial yeast, no or very low added sulfites (SO₂), and no fining or filtration. This is in contrast to conventional wine, which can legally use dozens of additives — including sugar, color, acid, and flavor compounds — without disclosing them on the label.

Is natural wine the same as organic or biodynamic wine?

Not exactly, though they overlap. Organic wine follows certified farming practices but can still use commercial yeasts and additives in the cellar. Biodynamic takes organic a step further with a holistic farming philosophy. Natural wine encompasses both but emphasizes minimal cellar intervention above all — the farming is just the starting point.

Why is natural wine sometimes cloudy or fizzy?

Cloudiness usually means the wine is unfiltered — natural sediment and yeast particles are left in, which many winemakers believe adds texture and character. A slight spritz or fizz often comes from residual CO₂ from fermentation, especially common in pét-nat (pétillant naturel) styles. Neither is a flaw — they're signs of minimal processing.
