….BUT WHAT DOES „NATURAL WINE“ REALLY MEAN?

You probably heard it before, natural wine is offen called „living wine“ or wine “without makeup”
The main difference compared to conventional wine is:

-Viniculture is pesticide-free and it works without chemicals and pest control. Only natural substances in viticulture are used which do not penetrate the plants and consequently leave no residues in the wine.

– Only natural yeast is used, which is automatically found in the wine cellar or on the grapes on the vine. That means, no use of laboratory or artificially grown yeast or genetically modified yeast that ensure constant aromas and properties.
– No gelatin, megatartaric acid, bovine blood or controversial agents are used
– No enzymes, nutrient preparations and other almost 50 approved additives are added.

– The wine is usually not filtered, clarified, sterilized and not fined. If possible, protein is not added or only in rare cases if it cannot be avoided. Many natural wines are therefore also “vegan”.
-The wine contains no extra given sulfides and therefore has little or no sulfurization.
– General philosophy is to treat the wine as little as possible and don’t add something that changes the wine optically as well as taste. it’s about to reveal the wine’s own identity.

A typical optical appearance in natural wines can be for example cloudiness and a more „funky-taste“ meaning they could taste more raw, wild, with cider components and light to strong oxidative notes, offen earthy and typical are yeasty tones. they can also smell very different than taste-wise in the mouth.

-Respect for nature and the environment. This refers to a range of practices that are not only ecologically healthy but also socially responsible.
– Not all natural wines are organic and not all organic or biodynamic wines are natural.
