Natural wines in Greece: It’s a start!

Natural wines is a trend that cannot be ignored. Like everywhere else in the world, some Greek winemakers have chosen to follow this path as well, trying to produce wines under minimal intervention scheme that are terroir-driven, expressive and well-made. Some very good examples exist that show clearly the dynamics of the so-called ''natural movement'' yet there are others that I feel need more focus.

Generally speaking and in an international context many claim the glory of producing wines with minimal intervention and none or very little SO2 added, but few have managed to produce clean well-made wines that can make a statement. It seems that in order to do less, one needs to pay extra attention both in the vineyard and in the cellar. This is the price a producer must provide!
