Natural wine
Natural wine is a type of wine made in small quantities, from hand-harvested, organically grown grapes with minimal intervention in the winery. It is a loosely defined term that can include a variety of winemaking philosophies and techniques, but generally refers to wines that are made without the use of synthetic chemicals or additives, and with minimal technological intervention.
History
The concept of natural wine is not new, and has its roots in the ancient winemaking traditions of France and Italy. However, the term itself, and the modern movement associated with it, emerged in the late 20th century, in response to the increasing industrialization and standardization of the wine industry.
Production
Natural wine is made using a variety of techniques that aim to preserve the natural character of the grapes and the unique qualities of the vineyard. This can include the use of native yeast for fermentation, minimal or no filtration, and the avoidance of additives such as sulfites, which are commonly used in conventional winemaking.
Characteristics
Natural wines are often characterized by their vibrant, expressive flavors and aromas, which can vary widely depending on the grape variety, the vineyard, and the specific winemaking techniques used. They can also have a distinctive, cloudy appearance due to the lack of filtration.
Controversies
The natural wine movement has been the subject of some controversy within the wine industry. Critics argue that the lack of a clear definition and regulation can lead to inconsistency and variability in quality. Supporters, however, argue that this variability is part of the charm and appeal of natural wines, reflecting the unique characteristics of each individual wine.
