Grape – Müller Thurgau

Most conventional wine makers will use animal products for fining their wine, such as egg white or casein. Fining being the process of removing the fine particulate matter after the fermentation process such as yeast cells and proteins, to make the wine crystal clear.

Natural wine makers on the other hand eschew intervention and strive for as little manipulation in the wine making process as possible. They will therefore avoid filtration and fining and with it the need for any animal products, resulting in vegan friendly wines.

Therefore you will often find natural wines have a noticeable amount of sediment in the bottle, or appear hazy or cloudy. Natural winemakers tend to use the process of racking as the sole method of removing as much of the sediment from fermentation as possible. The wine will be allowed to settle in its fermentation vessel so as much sediment as possible settles at the bottom. The resulting clearer wine is then pumped to a new vessel with the sediment left behind.

Wilder Satz Pur 2022

A bracingly zippy, palate-cleansing wine that buzzes with tart white grapefruit citrus and softens into the creamy peaks of a lemon meringue pie. Anecdotally described as 'alcoholic lemonade for grown-ups' and for good reason! Find out more.

Little Bastard 2021

Mosel Riesling, but not as you know it. Blended with Sauvignon Blanc, Muller Thurgau and Muscat, the wine is cloudy and has a refreshing spritz. It's zippy, fresh and funky new-school Deutschland that pushes against against the strict rules of the Prädikat System. Find out more.

Frauen Power Rosé 2022

The Dornfelder of 'Frauen Power', but here direct-pressed and then blended with macerated white grapes to leave it this beautiful, peachy-pink colour. It drinks exactly as you'd expect from its appearance - feather-light and thirst-quenching at just 9.5%. Find out more.

Cascina Zerbetta
Quattrocento 2021

Bold Italian white made with the slightly unexpected combination of Sauvignon Blanc & Muller Thurgau. A short skin maceration adds depth and texture and the dash of Muller gives things a fresh aromatic lift. Something different to try if you usually look for your Sauvignon to be grown in the Loire or New World. Find out more.
