Natural (many wines without sulphites) are wines made without the use of chemicals, sugars and artificial yeasts. There is currently no definitive legislation for what qualifies as "natural wine" and what doesn't, but generally at the present time just about every producer who states that his or her wine is natural is an artisan, making these wines because they believe it's how wine should be, not just for commercial profit. Let's hope the term doesn't get hijacked by the global wine companies as happened with organic and biodynamic.

We have tasted a lot of natural wines and to be honest many of them are not particularly great tasting, and most of them are very expensive - because they are hand crafted on a tiny scale. However as this is a passion of ours, we have searched very hard and are delighted to have discovered some of the very best natural wines produced anywhere in the world, and at sensible prices. Domaine Viret wines from the Rhone are just fantastic, a big favourite of ours (Oz Clarke described their wines as "cosmic nectar"). We also have a superb Cabernet Sauvignon on the water from Teillery, Chile's first certified organic winery, and now making Chile's first ever no added sulphite wine. Due here in July.
