Style – Bin End

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.

Traverse
Red 2021

A field blend of Phoenix and Rondo grapes from a single vineyard in Beckley, East Sussex. After a short maceration the wine was left to age in old Burgundy barrels for 9 months. At just 9 degrees of alcohol, this is bright, light-bodied and with some fresh, underripe fruit flavours that reflect the cooler climate of our home soils. Find out more.

La Senda
El Aqueronte 2019

Mencía grown at very high altitude, bringing out all the pretty, perfumed character of the grape. Floral aromas hover over spicy red fruits and a stony mineral backbone from the layers of slate and quartz in the soil. Pinot Noir heads are advised to investigate! Find out more.

Domaine Rietsch
Vielle Vigne Sylvaner 2019

It's pleasing to see the often overlooked or blended Alsatian varietal Sylvaner here taking centre stage and showing what it can be capable of when harvested from older vines. There is a soaring acidity and a cut glass quality, impeccably crystalline fruits and a tension that binds it all together. Find out more.

Marko Fon
Malvazija 2020

A contemplative wine that speaks of the winemaking history of this rugged terrain.

La Lunotte

Christophe Foucher makes atypical Sauvignon Blanc. This cuvée is vinified only in tank, stripping it of the idiosyncratic oxidate notes that often characterise Foucher's wine in favour of something more linear and fresh. Find out more.

Sam Vinciullo
Red/White 2019

Highly unconventional Margaret River stylings here with this descriptively-named red and white mix of Sauvignon Blanc with Shiraz. In light, chillable red territory, here the red coulis fruits are elevated with herbaceous vim. Incomparable and all the better for it - if it tastes this good, why not? Find out more.

Joan Rubió/Tiques
Nituix 2018

As with all of Joan’s wines, the whole bunches are destemmed and the grapes macerated for around one week. Joan doesn’t ever press, and therefore loses a big amount of his yield but he prefers this more soft and gentle juice. Find out more.

Ergastoline 2020

Made using Bergeron, a highly obscure strain of Roussanne that is found in the alpine region of Savoie. Macerated on the skins and aged in barrel, it is is ripe and exotic on the nose, with dry tea-like tannins. Incredibly delicate, alluring and one of Bouju's harder to track down cuvées.

Mira 2020

No, we didn't think we'd one day be listing wine from Belgium either! The thing that drew us to this fascinating project was the radical approach; natural wine almost reverse-engineered in the concept of planting grape varietals that suited the place they were grown, sidestepping chemical farming methods in the process. Fittingly, the wines are like nothing you will have tried before. One for the curious! Find out more.
