Natural wine

Not to be confused with organic wine or biodynamic wine.

Natural wine (French: vin naturel, vin nature; German: Naturwein) refers to a generalized movement among winemakers for production of wine using simple or traditional methods. Although there is no uniform definition of natural wine, it is usually produced using grapes that are farmed without the use of pesticides or herbicides, with no additives other than limited to no SO2, and limited to no filtration and fining. Typically, natural wine is produced on a small scale using traditional rather than industrial techniques and fermented with native yeast. In its purest form, natural wine is simply unadulterated fermented grape juice with no additives in the winemaking process.
