Natural Wine Producers: Working With Nature
Portraits and interviews with the world's finest natural wine producers — farmers and winemakers who work in harmony with terroir, minimal intervention, and a deep respect for the land.
Keltis
The Kelhar family of Bizeljsko, Slovenia, with roots back to 1776, farm five hectares organically and biodynamically, making macerated and sparkling natural wines.
Matic
Matija Žerjav, known simply as Matic, farms 9 organic hectares in the village of Malečnik in Slovenia's Štajerska wine region, championing the native Šipon grape and low-intervention winemaking in amphora and stainless steel with the energy of a third-generation natural winemaker.
Šuman
Radovan Šuman has farmed his family's Slovenian Styrian vines biodynamically for over two decades, sealing his amber wines in beeswax-coated clay bottles and bottling only on solstices.
