Natural wine
What is natural wine?
Nature", "naturel", "propre", "nu" wine is wine made without additives. No adaptation to standards. Here, wine is allowed to freely express its origin, grape variety, location, soil and weather. In other words, terroir - the place where a number of unique factors affect the grapes each year. Not a dead product, wine lives in the bottle. Natural wine is about freshness, wholesomeness, sustainability, exchange and lots of love. It's wine, natural wine.
