Now that Autumn has definitely arrived, we thought it time to put together a selection of natural wines fit for the season. Rich, comforting, warming, aromatic, sensual: these are the bottles we reach for at this time of year.
Brilliant crémant that balances zesty freshness with some savoury complexity from barrel ageing prior to re-fermentation. The smart choice for those seeking Champenoise stylings, minus the price tag. Find out more.

A wonderful example of what this cru can offer. Often making some of the more structured, ageworthy Beaujolais, here a balance of muscularity and elegance is on display. A wide-open aromatic profile leads to dark, inky fruits with an almost Burgundian character. Find out more.

A contemplative wine that speaks of the winemaking history of this rugged terrain. In a world of aromatic Malvasia that can blow your head of with its soaring, fragrant aromas, it is refreshing to find a totally different expression of the grape from the windswept limestone soils of Slovenia's Kras.

The darker, more brooding and structured side of Elisa's two Moulin-à-Vent cuvées; this is the only of her wines that sees any time in barrel. Robust and ageworthy, with an iron-rich mineral streak imparted by the gorrha soils that define this single 1.5-hectare plot. Find out more.
