*A quick note about natural wines: natural wines are not simply organic. There is no authority on which wines are natural and which aren’t but, generally, the term is applied to vineyards who reject today’s sophisticated winemaking technology, and seek to produce wine in the same manner they did a century ago. This means the yeast they use tends to be wild, sulfites are usually not added, and the vineyard’s environmental impact is minimal.
