Natural Wines

Natural wine is simply wine grapes farmed properly, juiced,  then left alone to make wine. No commercial yeast, no additives, no fining, no filtering, and barely any added sulfur — most bottles here land between 10 and 80 ppm when U.S. law allows up to 350. That’s it. That’s natural wine.

Sometimes it’s cloudy. Sometimes it’s a little wild. Always interesting.. New to it? You're in the right place.

The part nobody puts on a label

U.S. rules permit dozens of additives in winemaking — colorants, acidifiers, flavor compounds, stabilizers, fining agents — and none of them have to appear on the bottle. That’s just how the regulation is written, and plenty of wine people love is made that way.

Natural wine is the other end of that spectrum. Organically or biodynamically farmed fruit, hand-harvested, fermented with the yeast that was already on the skins, and bottled with little or nothing added. There’s no legal definition and no certification body, which is exactly why the category is so broad — and why it matters who’s doing the choosing. More on how that works here.

Common questions

What is natural wine?

Wine made from organically or biodynamically farmed grapes, fermented with native yeast, with little to no added sulfites and no additives, fining or filtration. There’s no legal definition — it’s a philosophy, not a certification.

How many sulfites are in natural wine?

Typically 10–80 ppm total SO₂, against a U.S. legal maximum of 350 ppm. No wine is ever truly sulfite-free, since fermentation produces some naturally.

Is natural wine low in sugar?

Usually yes. Natural wine is fermented to dryness and nothing is added back, so most bottles have very little residual sugar. We note it in the product description when a wine does carry some.

Why is natural wine cloudy?

Because it hasn’t been fined or filtered. The sediment is harmless, and removing it also removes texture and aroma. Stand the bottle up for a few hours and pour gently if it bothers you.

Does natural wine go bad faster?

It’s more sensitive to heat and light, so store it cool and dark. Once open, most bottles hold two or three days in the fridge — some actually improve on day two.

Where do you ship natural wine?

California, Oregon, New Mexico, Wyoming, North Dakota, New Hampshire, Connecticut, Nebraska, Florida and Washington D.C., in temperature-controlled packaging with an adult 21+ signature. Check your state, or choose local pickup if you’re in San Diego.

What is Natural Wine?

Natural wine represents a return to the basics of winemaking. It's an approach that prioritizes minimal intervention and embraces the inherent characteristics of the grapes and their terroir. 

One common misconception is that natural wines completely eliminate the risk of hangovers. While some drinkers report fewer headaches, it's important to remember that moderation is key. Overindulgence in any type of wine, natural or not, can still lead to unpleasant after-effects. As always, staying hydrated is crucial when enjoying wine.

The Natural Winemaking Process

The production of natural wine is a testament to simplicity and tradition. Here's how it typically unfolds:

  1. Grapes are harvested without the use of synthetic pesticides.
  2. The grapes are then crushed to release their juice.
  3. Instead of adding commercial yeasts, winemakers allow the native yeasts present on the grape skins (or in the winery) to initiate fermentation.
  4. Throughout the process, there is minimal intervention, allowing the wine to develop its unique characteristics naturally.

This approach stands in stark contrast to conventional winemaking, which often involves spraying pesticides to eliminate native yeasts, adding processed yeasts and sugar to kickstart fermentation, and using numerous additives. In fact, in the United States, winemakers can use up to 60 approved additives without disclosing them on the label.

The Natural Wine Spectrum

Natural wines offer a diverse range of flavors and styles, catering to various palates. On one end of the spectrum, you'll find smooth, easily drinkable wines, affectionately known as "glou glou" in the natural wine community. These wines are perfect for those just beginning to explore the world of natural wines.

On the other end, there are more complex, funky varieties. Some natural wines may present vinegary notes or appear cloudy, while others might remind you of kombucha with their unique flavor profiles. This diversity is part of what makes natural wine so exciting for enthusiasts.

A Note on Sulfites

It's worth mentioning that some natural winemakers do add minimal amounts of sulfites to their wines, primarily for preservation purposes. When used, the quantity is typically about ten times less than what you'd find in conventional wines. Importantly, if sulfites are added, this should be clearly indicated on the bottle.

Related Wine Categories

As you explore the world of natural wines, you may come across two related categories: biodynamic and organic wines.

Biodynamic farming takes a holistic, sustainable approach to agriculture. It uses organic, locally sourced materials for fertilizing and soil conditioning, views the vineyard as a closed, diversified ecosystem, and often follows lunar cycles for farming activities.

Organic wine, on the other hand, comes from grapes grown without synthetic fertilizers or pesticides. These practices emphasize natural pest control and soil health, aligning closely with the principles of natural winemaking.

The Natural Wine Movement

The rise of natural wine reflects a broader trend towards cleaner, more transparent food and beverage production. It responds to consumer demand for healthier, more sustainable options while honoring traditional winemaking techniques.

As the natural wine movement continues to grow, it offers wine lovers a chance to explore unique flavors while supporting environmentally conscious production methods. Whether you're a curious newcomer or a seasoned wine enthusiast, natural wines provide an exciting avenue for discovery and enjoyment.

FAQs

What is natural wine?

Natural wine is made with minimal intervention both in the vineyard and the cellar. That means no synthetic pesticides, no added chemicals, and little to no added sulfites (30 ppm at bottling is the norm). Unlike conventional wines, natural wines are fermented with wild yeasts and showcase the true expression of the grapes and terroir. (If the winemaker is very talented and diligent in the winery...)
How is natural wine different from organic or biodynamic wine?

Organic wines are made from organically grown grapes, but can still have additives and excessive sulfites.

Biodynamic wines follow spiritual and lunar farming practices inspired by Rudolf Steiner. Biodynamic wines are typically organically farmed too.

Natural wines are usually from an organic and/or biodynamic source (although not always certified) and they use spontaneous fermentation using indigenous yeast and avoiding additives, stabilizers, or heavy filtration.
Is natural wine better for you?

Natural wines are often perceived as “cleaner” because they contain fewer additives, sulfites, and chemicals. While there’s no clinical evidence they result in less severe hangovers, many people find them easier to process. Remember, the wine industry is not required to disclose additives in wine, so it's really scouts honor here. Corporate wineries tend to [allegedly and likely] add a ton of chemicals to their wine to cut costs and make a product taste the same year after year. Wineries are legally allowed to add 70+ additives to a wine without disclosing any of them. So...natural, minimal intervention, and classically made wines are the way to go!
Does natural wine contain sulfites?

Most wines naturally contain trace sulfites due to fermentation. However, natural wines typically have minimal to no added sulfites, staying well below the levels found in commercial wines. Wines in general have less sulfites than your typical dried fruits or even kale and spinach you buy from the store. The thought that sulfites in wine is what give you headaches is simply a myth.

How should I store my wine?

Ideally in a cool, dark place between 50–55°F (10–13°C). Because many classically made wines (what you'll primarily find at Harvest Wine Shop) are unfiltered and lightly sulfited, they’re more sensitive to temperature fluctuations and sunlight, so be sure to keep them cool. Also, some wines are meant to be consumed within a year from the year on the bottle, while others can age for 20 years! It all depends on the structure of the wine (Acid, sugar, alcohol, and tannin).
Where can I buy natural wine online?

You can explore our curated collection of natural wines from small, independent producers around the world right here.
How do you choose the wines you sell?

We partner directly with small-scale, family owned winemakers who tend to farm organically, and biodynamically and make wine the way it's always been made (before corporate wine came to be). Every bottle in our collection reflects transparency, sustainability, and true craftsmanship.
What temperature should I serve wine at?

In general:

Chillable Reds: 52–58°F (11–14°C)
Full-Bodied Reds: 60–65°F (16–18°C)
Crisp Whites: 45–50°F (7–10°C)
Full-Bodied Whites: 50–55°F (10–13°C)
Orange Wines: 50–55°F (10–13°C)
Rosé: 45–50°F (7–10°C)
Sparkling Wines: 40–45°F (4–7°C)

Serving wine at the right temperature helps unlock its aromas and balance.
How is wine shipped safely?
