Why Natural Wines?

Did you know that most wines use chemicals and synthetic additives?

It may surprise you that all wines are not natural wines. But, unlike most food products, wine labels don't list their ingredients which is often... more than just grapes.

Over 90% of wines sold in the US include non-natural additives to stabilize wines, enhance color or flavor, soften tannins, create texture, and more. In fact, there are over 60 legal additives - many of which are not legal in other countries.

 

Enter, natural wines.

Simply put, natural wines have none of that "stuff."

Through organic and biodynamic farming practices, grapes are harvested and grown without synthetic pesticides or fertilizers. Wines are vinified in small batches using yeasts that naturally occur in the vineyard instead of using inoculated yeasts. (Check out this blog post for more info on natural wines.)

Natural wines reduce chemical usage, promote biodiversity and have a positive environmental impact.

The result? Wines that are better for the earth, and better for you!
