Natural Wine
Explore our carefully curated range of natural wines from leading producers in Australia and abroad. From rising talents to seasoned masters, these wines share one thing in common: they are real, authentic and genuinely enjoyable.
There is no strict definition of natural wine, but for us the starting point is organically or biodynamically farmed vineyards with a genuine respect for the environment. Many natural winemakers manage their own vineyards - places full of life with grazing sheep, biodynamic preparations and minimal heavy machinery. Grapes are harvested by hand into shallow crates to protect their quality and native yeasts are utilised for fermentation.
In natural winemaking there are no added acids, enzymes, sugars or fining agents such as milk protein, fish products or egg whites which are common in commercial winemaking. This also means natural wines are vegan. The wines are unfined and unfiltered, requiring far less sulphur and sometimes none at all. It is best to store them upright for at least 6 hours before enjoying to ensure any remaining sediment can settle to the bottom.
Natural wines are often lower in alcohol, easy-drinking, softer wines with a juicy quality from lighter macerations and extractions. Stainless steel and terracotta are often used for ageing, if oak is used it is usually a few years seasoned so as to not impart too much oak character to the wine. Whilst some natural wine can be cellared, most are made with immediate enjoyment in mind.
Natural wines, including orange and pet-nat wines, are raw, honest expressions of time and place. They are made in small batches and each vintage will differ slightly depending on climate and the blend of varieties. Enjoy them with good friends, good food and an appreciation for the simpler things in life.
