"Natural wine" is an umbrella term used to describe low-intervention, and often organic, or biodynamic methods of winemaking.

We like to call it "ancient wine", because it's essentially how the first ever wines were created: grapes are hanging out in the field and are coated by native yeasts present in the air. The fruit is then picked by hand and put into a vessel, then crushed to released the juice. Those wild yeasts spontaneously break down the sugar in the grapes which produces alcohol. No pesticides are used on the plant, and no synthetic chemicals, yeast strains, dyes, sugar, or sulfites* (there is an exception here) are added during the wine making process, hence low-intervention. 

These grapes are typically produced in small or family-owned vineyards so they turn against the industrialization of the wine industry, which is not sustainable and has negative impacts on the planet. Natural wines also have less sugars and less histamines, which means less of a hangover, and we are happy about that :)

*Minimal sulfites (usually <20ppm) may be added to stabilize and preserve shelf life. All wines contain at least some sulfites as it is a natural byproduct of grape fermentation.
