Here are nine of our favourite wine bars boasting natural pours
The first time I came across natural wines was when I was passed a glass of low-intervention white wine a couple of years ago. “Try it, it's really funky,” encouraged a friend of mine. While I can’t for the life of me remember the label (perhaps I was too many drinks in), what I do remember is that it was the first time I had ever heard the words ‘funky’ and ‘barnyard’ associated with wine.
So, what exactly are natural, or low-intervention, wines? The concept refers to wines produced without additives or pesticides during the grape growing or winemaking process.
Today, it is not surprising to see natural wines gracing the menus of many a dining space, from casual restaurants to specialised wine bars. Here are seven spaces known for their variety of wines, including those that are natural.
