Natural Wine: Naked, Pure, & Thoroughly Contentious
Take a trip down this bumpy road, exploring hot topics like: What is a natural wine? Is it the same thing as organic? What about the mysterious and, at times, bizarre world of biodynamic viticulture? Does burying a dung-filled cow skull in the ground really improve the soil (and wine)?
We’ll see why some dismiss natural wine producers as charlatans, willfully breaking rules to sell the equivalent of snake oil. And why others champion them as creating the simplest and purest expression of what a wine can be. We’ll also be asking: Why is it so controversial? Do sulfites really give me a headache? And, how did it become so trendy and how is that trend shifting?
