{"title":"The Other Right","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe name came from a family joke: Alex Schulkin's partner Galit has a notoriously unreliable sense of left and right, and \"not this right, the OTHER right\" became a household phrase. By the time Alex started making wine under the label in 2012, the name had taken on a second meaning: The Other Right as an alternative path, one that leads away from conventional winemaking and toward something more honest.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAlex Schulkin was born in Russia, trained as a scientist, and built a career as a researcher at the Australian Wine Research Institute in Adelaide. That combination of deep scientific literacy and genuine curiosity about natural wine is what makes The Other Right unusual. Alex knows precisely what is happening in the bottle at every stage, and he chooses not to interfere. The result is a set of no-sulfur, no-additive wines with a cleanliness and liveliness that many natural producers never achieve.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMore on how they farm and work in the cellar in our \u003ca href=\"\/blogs\/natural-wine-producers-primal-wine\/the-other-right\"\u003eThe Other Right producer profile\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"pinot-noir-the-other-right-pinot-noir-natural-wine-australia","title":"The Other Right Pinot Noir 2018","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Other Right 'All Fruits Ripe' is 100% Pinot Noir sourced from the Broderick family's organically farmed vineyard in Basket Range, Adelaide Hills.
