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.
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.
