Explore our collection of natural wines at Nourished Communities and taste the difference for yourself.
What Exactly is Natural Wine?
Let’s break it down—natural wine is wine in its most authentic form. It's all about minimal intervention, from the vineyard to the bottle. This means no added chemicals, no artificial yeasts, and little to no added sulphites. What you get is a wine that’s a true reflection of the grape and the land it comes from, with nothing artificial getting in the way.
Natural wines are often unfiltered and unfined, which gives them a cool, cloudy look and a bold, earthy flavour. This stripped-back approach is what makes natural wines so special—they allow the real essence of the grapes and the terroir to shine through, offering a taste that’s as close to nature as you can get.
The Roots of Natural Wine
While it might seem like a new trend, the natural wine movement is actually a nod to the way wine was made for thousands of years. Before modern winemaking techniques took over, all wine was essentially "natural." But in the 1960s and 70s, some French winemakers decided to go back to basics, ditching chemicals and additives in favour of traditional methods.
At the heart of natural wine is a deep respect for the environment. Many of these wines are made using organic or biodynamic practices, with no synthetic pesticides or fertilisers in sight. Here at Nourished Communities, we’re all about supporting these eco-conscious winemakers and sharing their amazing wines with you.
Why Choose Natural Wine?
Natural wine isn’t just a drink—it’s an experience. With no additives, the flavours are often more vibrant, complex, and sometimes even a little wild compared to conventional wines. If you’re someone who cares about what you put in your body, natural wine is a great choice. You can sip away knowing your wine is free from synthetic chemicals and unnecessary processing.
Plus, when you buy natural wine, you’re supporting small, independent winemakers who care about quality and sustainability over mass production. It’s wine with a conscience, and it tastes pretty amazing too.
How to Enjoy Natural Wine
Enjoying natural wine is as simple as it gets, but there are a few tips to make the most of it. Because these wines are a bit more sensitive to temperature and oxygen, be sure to store them properly and serve them at the right temperature—usually between 10-14°C, depending on the style.
Natural wines are super versatile when it comes to food pairings. Whether you’re having a light, fresh salad or a hearty stew, there’s a natural wine that will complement it perfectly. The best part? There’s no right or wrong—just experiment and find what works for you.
