Some are wonderful, different and a real palate shocker. Like any other wine category (or anything else...) some might cut corners and use the term for marketing reasons. Natural wine is for me simply an honest wine that is made according to a less is more philosophy. Natural wine is in deed a very broad term. Some are wonderful, different and a real palate shocker.

However, there is a lot of dross that you have to muck through to get the good stuff. Is it worth it? I think that conscienscious producers are already making wines that are as close to natural as possible. Maybe we should take the time to have a closer look at the way the wines are harvested and made rather then a lazy, shorthanded way of saying natural wine is the way to go. I've had some natural wines that you wouldn't want to give to your worst enemy. Having worked with natural wines for a bit of time, I can say that they do have their charms.
