Natural wines distinguish themselves however by a low interventionist approach on behalf of the wine maker. Aged in oak barrels for 6 years under a voile ‘veil’ of yeast - similar to Sherry - exposed to oxygen, but unfortified. Nothing is added or taken away with the exception of small amounts of sulphites for stability, often none at all.

Wild indigenous yeasts are used for fermentation; fining and filtration is generally avoided; dry farming, manual labour, the traditional method of horse and plough are other examples of the natural approach. The vines are healthier and more resilient and can often produce fruit of more personality and purity, and because these wines are made without any chemicals or inorganic fertilisers, they are better for you as well!Everything you'd expect from a brooding, devilish red from Down Under with the legendary 'Steve Grimley' stamp. Although individual vintage reports are still being written, some key vintages of the past 40 years have region-specific reports. Each wine in the range is crafted by a different winemaker, when they want a rosé they find a winemaker that makes good rosé!
