A minor musing on ‘natural’ – via Raventos i Blanc xarel-lo
A minor musing on ‘natural’ – I’m reminded of certified organic wines in the early days, so 20 years ago and more
Natural Wine
About 40% of the book introduces wines the author recommends, a ‘starter for ten’ on “natural” wines; an introduction to befriending minimally-manipulated wines – “the best way to enjoy natural wines is to try to forget everything you think you know about wine, and start afresh”. Not necessarily an easy ask.
Authentic Wine, by Jamie Goode and Sam Harrop MW
I’d imagined this was going to be a book about natural wines under a slightly different name to draw us in. But the reader quickly grasps this book is about more than the narrow, ‘natural’, narrative. It embraces the broadest discussion of wines of place within a treatise around the various environmental issues affecting viticulture and winemaking.
