Natural Wines Wine as nature intended...... Wines termed as ‘natural’ can be many things, and they include organic and biodynamic wines. It’s complicated. But there are two rules of thumb: natural wine is not manipulated and not produced industrially. It takes winemaking back to its origins and its connection to the land. Our simple mission as natural wine specialists is to help our customers discover delicious wines that are produced as naturally and sustainably as possible.  Buon Vino.

Based in Soings en Sologne, the 4.5 hectare domain is run by Julien and his girlfriend, Heidi Kuka*. They work with seven varieties of grapes, including an ungrafted Menu Pineau, planted in 1978, which is used to make the Originel wine.

When you meet Elisabetta she is warm and welcoming and she oozes a passion for her wines, her vineyard and life. Her story is one of regeneration. In the early 1900's the land she later brought back to life, was abandoned. Two Great Wars and the promise of industry left it with vines overgrown by brambles and olive trees gone wild.

She recalls a childhood spent wandering in the vineyards of Valpo ..read more
