Natural wine is, first and foremost, a farming product. This means there are no pesticides in the vineyard, and low intervention is preferred in the cellar. Ethical practices are respected throughout the entire process, especially labor practices.

Not all organic wines are natural, but all natural wines use organically or biodynamically grown grapes, usually hand-harvested. Natural wine has no added or minimal added sulfites (very low sulfites, at 10-100 ppm versus the allowed 350 ppm).

Natural wine can be cloudy or retain sediment due to a lack of filtration and clarification. It might be earthy, slightly effervescent, wild, enjoyably unpredictable, always endlessly interesting. We are aware that it can be an acquired taste, but that's also the beauty of it. Discovery.

Like every other type of wine, any other product really, natural wine can be well-made or poorly made; good or bad. We eschew dogmatism in favor of constant exploration of this fascinating category, selecting our wine based strict criteria. Yes, natural wine must taste good.

All of Primal Wine's wines are dry wines. A wine can be considered a dry wine when all the grape sugar has been fermented into alcohol and CO2 by yeast. A dry wine, somewhat improperly but not incorrectly, can be defined as sugar free. All the sugar has been transformed into something else during fermentation.

This is not something exceptional. In fact, most of the wine on the market is fermented dry. Unless we are talking about very specific wines – some sparkling wines, dessert wines, wines used in religious ceremonies, or easy-to-identify mass-produced wine where high residual sugar is a stylistic choice.

Overemphasizing how we sell "zero sugar" wine is not what we do at Primal Wine – that's not our marketing angle. But by virtue of selling dry wine, we are selling "no sugar" or "sugar free" wine. I hope this clarifies some misconceptions about wine. Once again, most wine is dry. Making dry wine is the norm. Making sweet, high-sugar wine is the exception.
