Natural wines are relatively difficult to define, and aren’t certificated in the way that, say, biodynamic wines are. They are farmed organically or biodynamically, hand-harvested and ‘transformed’ without the addition or removal of anything in the cellar. No additives or processing aids are used, and intervention in the naturally occurring fermentation process is kept to a minimum. Neither fining nor filtration are employed. The result is a wine full of naturally occurring microbiology; it’s about using what one was given, with the wine evolving naturally to be whatever it will be. The natural wine movement is often scoffed at by traditional wine lovers. There is, though, much to be said for doing things naturally. In the end, it comes down to whether what’s in your hand is a great glass of wine. Join Michael for a live tasting of both The Hermit Ram Skin Fermented Sauvignon Blanc and Zealandia Pinot Noir.
