Natural wine

Natural wine usually describes wine made with an approach that keeps additional interventions to a minimum.

How it works

For example, the producer may ferment with yeasts already present or skip filtering before bottling. Wines described this way are not all made alike; the name is not a complete recipe.

How to use this when choosing

Ask specific questions: was it filtered, was protective sulphur dioxide added, and which yeasts were used? For flavour, also read the description of the bottle.
