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.
Swick Wines
Fifth-generation Oregonian Joe Swick spent a decade making harvests across three continents before returning home to craft energetic, low-intervention wines from organic Pacific Northwest vineyards. Raw, honest, and built for drinking.
Prisinzano
New York chef Frank Prisinzano bought an 822-year-old palazzo in Scala and its terraced land, making organic Amalfi Coast wine with the help of Bruno De Conciliis.
Benjamin Taillandier
After apprenticing with Jean-Baptiste Senat, Benjamin Taillandier farms Caunes-Minervois biodynamically to make lighter, fresher Minervois built for thirst.
La Cattiva
A collective of seven friends from Puglia who revived a dairy farm in Sammichele di Bari and began making spontaneously fermented, zero-sulfur wines from Primitivo and Trebbiano in 2019.
Les Bories Jefferies
British-born Jo Jefferies farms just 4 hectares of volcanic basalt soil around the village of Caux in the Hérault, making intensely mineral natural wines that have earned him a reputation as one of Languedoc's most compelling producers.
Stefano Legnani – Big in Japan
Stefano Legnani wasn’t born into winemaking; he began his journey as a gourmet, natural wine lover, and avid drinker. Fast forward a few years,…
Liten Buffel
Zack Klug and Patrick Vaughn grow and vinify Pinot Noir, Syrah, and Riesling on 4.5 acres of New York's Niagara Escarpment with foot-crushing, old barrels, and a philosophy that puts spontaneity ahead of safety nets.
Delinquente Wine Co.
Con-Greg Grigoriou is rewriting the Riverland's reputation with bright, smashable wines from heat-loving Southern Italian grapes.
Laurent
Laurent Cazottes transforms rare heirloom grapes and orchard fruits from his biodynamic farm in the Tarn into vivid natural wines, eaux-de-vie, and liqueurs rooted in 12 generations of family history.
Aia dei Colombi
A Pascale-family estate in the Sannio hills bottles only its own grapes, championing Falanghina, Fiano, Aglianico, and the near-forgotten Barbera del Sannio.
Famille Brunier
Six generations of Bruniers have farmed the windswept La Crau plateau, where a deep mantle of rounded galets stones gives Vieux Télégraphe its benchmark Châteauneuf-du-Pape.
Domaine Le Briseau
A pioneering Coteaux-du-Loir estate founded in 2002 by Christian Chaussard and Nathalie Gaubicher, whose zero-added-anything Chenin and Pineau d'Aunis helped shape Loire natural wine.
