Organic and natural wines are all the rage these days—but what's the difference between them and why should we care? Our wine expert breaks down everything you need to know.
So you’ve heard about natural, organic and biodynamic wine and want to know what all the fuss is about. Maybe you’ve been diligently purchasing organic food when possible and decided that choice should extend to what’s in your glass. Bravo!
So if the word “natural” can mean nothing and everything, it may be better to think of natural wine as simply low or minimal intervention wine instead. “There is a connotation that volatile, mousey, or otherwise 'flawed' wines are 'natural,' and a false sense of 'organic-ness' or 'handmade' is concluded. In reality these qualities have nothing to do with farming, and centuries of craft winemaking have sought to weed them out, or at least temper them.
So how do you find an organic or low intervention wine on the shelf or on a restaurant list? Certifications like Demeter are certainly a helpful starting place, but there are many producers that choose not to certify for various reasons. Domaine Michel Lafarge has been farming organically in Burgundy since the 1950s, but doesn’t necessarily put that on the bottlings.
