Natural Wine
What is natural wine?
Natural", "natural", "clean", "naked" wine is a wine made without additives. No adaptation to standards. Here, we let the wine freely express its origin, the grape variety, its location, the soil and the weather. In other words, the terroir - the place where a number of unique factors affect the grape every year. It is not a dead product, the wine lives in the bottle. Natural wine is about freshness, wholesomeness, durability, exchange and lots of love. It is wine, natural wine.
