Low Intervention Wine
Low intervention wine refers to a winemaking approach that minimizes human interference throughout the production process. This method often involves using organic or biodynamic grapes, allowing natural fermentation with wild yeasts, and avoiding additives like sulfites. The goal is to produce wine that reflects the true characteristics of the grapes and the terroir, or the unique environmental factors of the vineyard.
Proponents of low intervention wine believe it results in more authentic and expressive flavors. This style of winemaking has gained popularity among natural wine enthusiasts and is often associated with smaller, independent wineries that prioritize sustainability and traditional practices.
