What exactly is natural wine?
Natural
wines
are
wines
where
as
little
is
intervened
as
possible
from
the
vineyard
to
the
bottle,
made
the
way
wine
was
made
for
thousands
of
years
before
the
industrial
revolution.
This
means:
Healthy
grapes,
grown
organically
or
biodynamically;
No
chemical
additives;
No
or
hardly
any
added
sulfite;
Spontaneous
fermentation;
No
filtering
after
the
fermentation
process.
By
the
way,
many
winemakers
are
not
very
happy
with
the
term
natural
wine
because
the
word
can
be
twisted
in
all
sorts
of
directions.
And
yes,
it's
actually
also
a
shame
that
the
adjective
"nature"
has
to
be
added
to
the
word
"wine,"
when
the
original
definition
of
wine
is
pure,
fermented
grape
juice.
Regardless,
it
is
the
most
commonly
used
name
worldwide
to
describe
healthily
grown,
nature-friendly
wines
with
little
intervention.
Natural wine, organic wine and biodynamic wine: what's the difference?
When
buying
natural
wine,
you
will
encounter
several
terms.
Therefore,
it
is
important
to
know
the
difference
between
natural
wine,
organic
wine
and
biodynamic
wine.
Organic
wine
is
made
from
organically
grown
grapes.
This
means
that
winemakers
do
not
use
herbicides
or
pesticides
on
the
vineyard.
Thus,
chemical
pesticides
and
fertilizers
cannot
be
used
in
this
type
of
viticulture.
Biodynamic
winemakers
also
follow
these
rules,
but
go
a
step
further.
They
use
homeopathic
herbal
mixtures
to
make
the
soil
and
the
vine
as
healthy
as
possible.
They
also
take
into
account
"cosmic
forces.
This
means
they
align
their
operations
with
the
position
of
the
sun
and
moon.
The
fermentation
of
both
organic
and
biodynamic
wine
does
involve
additives,
such
as
yeasts.
This
is
the
major
difference
from
natural
wines.
These
grapes
are
grown
organically
or
biodynamically,
they
are
picked
by
hand
and
there
is
no
intervention
during
fermentation.
Here
the
winemaker
lets
nature
take
its
course
as
much
as
possible.
What does natural wine taste like?
When
making
natural
wine,
the
winemaker
does
not
intervene.
This
means
that
no
yeasts,
dyes
or
acids
are
added,
but
also
that
the
wine
is
filtered
as
little
as
possible.
However,
sulfite
may
be
added
(in
moderation),
as
it
positively
affects
the
wine's
shelf
life.
But
there
are
also
natural
wines
without
sulfite.
Because
the
winemaker
lets
nature
take
its
course,
it
is
not
possible
to
say
in
advance
with
complete
certainty
what
the
taste
of
the
natural
wine
will
be.
Different
vintages
of
the
same
natural
wine
therefore
also
taste
different.
This
is
one
of
the
great
charms
of
natural
wines.
Natural
wine,
especially
compared
to
many
other
wines,
is
a
real
taste
explosion.
It
is
precisely
because
no
substances
have
been
added
to
influence
the
taste
that
you
taste
the
intense
wine
flavor.
That
makes
each
glass
a
beautiful
voyage
of
discovery.
Pet nat: natural wine with a bubble
Do
you
like
to
drink
sparkling
wine?
Then
there
are
suitable
natural
wines
for
you
as
well.
Pet
nat,
or
pétillant
naturel,
is
wine
that
becomes
sparkling
naturally.
Fermentation
takes
place
through
the
natural
method
"méthode
ancestrale.
Here,
no
additives
are
added
to
the
unfiltered
wine,
but
the
natural
fermentation
process
is
followed.
Thus,
the
sparkling
wine
remains
completely
natural,
unlike,
for
example,
champagne
where
two
controlled
fermentation
processes.
