It is the oldest winemaking practice currently in active use anywhere on the planet, and it has been reshaping how the global natural wine community thinks about minimal intervention since the early 2000s. The producers working in Kakheti and Kartli today are making wine the way their great-grandparents made wine, and the way their great-grandparents' great-grandparents made it before that. - [Gamay natural wine the grape behind the revolution](https://www.purewines.co.uk/gamay-natural-wine/): That is a compressed history, but it is not an exaggeration. Gamay natural wine from the Beaujolais, the Loire Valley, the Ardèche, and a growing number of other French regions now represents the most widely recommended entry point into natural wine for red wine drinkers in the UK market. The thin skin, the naturally high acidity, and the specific suitability of the variety for carbonic maceration make Gamay the grape that natural winemaking most clearly suits, and most consistently benefits from. - [Brad Pitt Turns Miraval Rosé Into Serious Provence Wine](https://www.purewines.co.uk/miraval-rose-buying-guide-provence/): If you are wondering whether Miraval Rosé is worth buying, the answer is yes, as long as you know what to expect. It sets a modern standard for Provence rosé, thanks to high-altitude grapes, limestone soils, and a technical partnership with Famille Perrin that elevates it beyond a mere celebrity wine. For online shoppers, Miraval is a reliable choice when you want a pale, dry, food-friendly rosé with freshness and structure, not just sweetness. - [Discover Unknown Grapes That Define Natural Wine in 2026](https://www.purewines.co.uk/natural-wine-unknown-grapes-2026/): The most important shift in natural wine culture for 2026 is not a new region or winemaking technique. It is a change in behaviour. Wine drinkers are actively choosing bottles without familiarity, reputation or shorthand. The rise of the blind date bottle reflects a broader move away from brand reassurance and towards curiosity, resilience and place. Unknown grapes are no longer niche curiosities. They are central to how engaged drinkers explore flavour, sustainability and value. - [From vine to table, the actual environmental cost of conventional wine versus sustainable vegan wine](https://www.purewines.co.uk/sustainable-vegan-wine-carbon-waste/): This feature maps those decisions across the upstream, midstream and downstream stages. It contrasts conventional practice with sustainable vegan wine and outlines what buyers can look for on labels and technical sheets. It does not ask readers to accept loose promises. It points to actions with measurable impact, from soil to shipping. - [Flexitarian Drinking: Why Non-Vegans Are Making A Permanent Switch To Ethical Wine](https://www.purewines.co.uk/ethical-wine-flexitarian-drinking-shift/): The wine aisle is no longer a passive shelf. It is where personal ethics, health consciousness, and taste now converge. A narrow clique of experts does not lead the shift. It is driven by flexitarian consumers who reduce their intake of animal products without strict abstention and want products that align with their values without sacrificing quality. As this group scales across the UK and EU, their preferences are reshaping buying, menus, and retail assortments. They are choosing ethical wine — often certified as vegan, organic, or biodynamic — and made with low-intervention methods that favour careful farming and transparent cellar practices. - [The science of purity in vegan wine filtration](https://www.purewines.co.uk/vegan-wine-filtration-purity-and-flavour/): For a generation of natural wine drinkers, filtration signalled loss. Early deep-bed sheets and diatomaceous earth demanded high pressure and frequent oxygen contact. The result was oxidation risk, stripped colour, and a thinner palate. Those systems filtered perpendicularly through compacted media. They also removed colloids and polysaccharides that contribute to texture and colour stability. Wines often emerged clean in the glass yet muted on the nose, with curtailed length and a chalky finish. Suspicion took hold because those methods confused technical clarity with sensory quality. Minimal-intervention makers wanted purity without losing the compounds that carry terroir. Old filtration made that trade, which is why scepticism became an article of faith for many cellars focused on authenticity. - [Sting Turns Chianti Into Wine Worth Buying](https://www.purewines.co.uk/sting-wine-il-palagio-chianti/): Sting is a world-famous musician, but Tenuta Il Palagio stands out when you look beyond the celebrity name. This Tuscan estate has been carefully rebuilt, with Sting and Trudie Styler directly involved in farming, replanting, and shaping the style of the wines. For UK buyers, this means you get Chianti and Toscana reds with real quality. Il Palagio is one of the few celebrity-backed estates where the wine itself is as impressive as the name on the label. - [Choosing Natural Wine After a Breakup Without the Drama](https://www.purewines.co.uk/natural-wine-after-breakup/): The question many wine drinkers ask in February is not which bottle best suits a romantic dinner, but which wine makes sense when romance has ended. In 2026, a growing number of consumers are turning to natural wine not as a statement, but as a practical and cultural response to changing tastes, habits and emotional contexts. Choosing the right bottle after a breakup is less about irony and more about clarity, comfort and moving forward with intention. - [Wine Bottle Sizes Explained for Every Wine Lover](https://www.purewines.co.uk/wine-bottle-sizes-explained-for-every-wine-lover/): Wine has an intriguing way of transforming ordinary moments into memorable ones, and wine bottle sizes contribute significantly to this experience. In the UK, wine bottles come in various shapes and sizes, each with its unique story, purpose, and impact on taste and preservation. Understanding these sizes not only enhances our wine appreciation but also ensures we're choosing the right bottle for any occasion, whether it's a quiet evening or a grand celebration. - [The vegan wine revolution, debunking fining myths and finding pure wine](https://www.purewines.co.uk/vegan-wine-fining-myths-and-pure-choice/): Is wine fermented grape juice? The honest answer is more complicated. Between the vineyard and the bottle sits an often invisible step that shapes clarity, stability and mouthfeel. That step is fining, which is why many bottles are not suitable for a vegan diet. As drinkers pay closer attention to farming, additives and cellar practice, vegan wine has moved from lifestyle preference to a marker of intent. It signals a producer’s commitment to minimal intervention, supply chain transparency and product integrity. - [A Question Of Authenticity: Can Natural Wine Be Vegan](https://www.purewines.co.uk/natural-vegan-wine-authenticity-and-purity/): Natural wine has moved from fringe to fixture. Its promise is plain enough. Farm without synthetics. Harvest by hand. Ferment with native yeasts. Add a little, take a little away. The goal is an unforced expression of place that feels as honest as it tastes. Yet a fault line runs through the movement. If a producer clarifies with egg whites or casein, can the wine still claim unmanipulated purity? The question is more than semantics. It goes to the core of how we define intervention, transparency, and trust. - [Terroir’s most authentic expression and how biodynamic vegan winemaking captures the soul of the soil](https://www.purewines.co.uk/biodynamic-vegan-wine-true-terroir/): Drinkers often describe biodynamic vegan wines with a consistent set of terms. Purity. Lift. Precision. A line of acidity that feels energetic rather than sharp. In mineral-driven sites, a saline or chalk dust finish. In structured reds, tannins feel woven rather than sanded. These traits do not appear by magic. They come from fruit that is physiologically ripe without excess sugar, from careful extraction that resists rough handling, and from elevage that respects time. Unfiltered bottling can leave a light haze or throw deposit with age. This is cosmetic, not a fault. Decanting solves the issue in service and leaves the detail intact. - [The ultimate pairing guide: finding the perfect vegan wine for plant-based gastronomy](https://www.purewines.co.uk/vegan-wine-pairing-elevates-plant-based-dining/): Plant-based dining has moved well beyond simple salads. Chefs now build layered dishes with roasted brassicas, fermented pastes, seaweed, smoked legumes, slow-cooked mushrooms, and nut-based creams. This breadth of flavour asks more from the glass. Vegan wine made with natural wine and organic wine principles offers the cleanest fit. These bottles are typically produced with minimal intervention, precise hygiene, and a focus on fruit integrity. The result is higher natural acidity, finer texture, and clarity of aroma. That profile partners confidently with vegetables, grains, fungi, spices, and plant fats, where conventional, heavily processed wines can struggle. - [The autumn cellar: a comprehensive guide to fall wines and the modern british palate](https://www.purewines.co.uk/autumn-wines-guide-british-palate/): The essence of an autumnal wine extends far beyond its colour. These wines embody a unique sensory profile—a tapestry of aromas, flavours, and textures that mirror the essence of the season. While the colour might evoke the vibrant hues of fall, it is the aroma and mouthfeel that truly define a wine for autumn. Earthy notes like forest floor and mushroom are frequently found in mature reds, while the warm spices of cinnamon and clove are also key indicators of this seasonal shift. The flavours often feature ripe stone fruits, such as apricots and peaches, alongside the deep richness of dark berries and dried fruit. These attributes, combined with a fuller body and a grippier texture, make autumn wines ideal companions for hearty dishes like stews and roasts. - [Orange Is The New Rosé: Exploring The World Of Skin-Contact Wines ](https://www.purewines.co.uk/orange-wine-skin-contact-guide/): Orange wine, also known as skin-contact white wine, represents a transformative shift within the global wine market. What was once an ancient winemaking practice has been revitalised to cater to the modern palate, offering a unique and complex sensory experience that appeals to today's values-driven consumer. Characterised by the fermentation of white grapes with their skins, orange wine bridges the textural richness of red wines with the aromatic finesse of whites. Its resurgence, from ancient Georgian traditions to contemporary wine bars, underscores a fusion of history and innovation. This report examines the historical roots, production methods, sensory profile, and market potential of orange wine, highlighting its enduring presence in the fine-wine landscape.  - [The Best Red Wine Through the Lens of Natural Winemaking](https://www.purewines.co.uk/best-red-wine-natural-winemaking-evidence/): The search for the best red wine often starts with taste and ends with trust. Pleasure matters, yet leading buyers and researchers increasingly ask a tighter question: which wines show structural quality, site fidelity, and verifiable farming standards that hold up across vintages and producers? As viticulture adapts to climate stress and shifting consumer preferences, a quiet convergence is taking place. Many of the most expressive, texturally complete reds are made by growers who minimise additives, work organically or biodynamically, and let native yeasts do the work. Call the category natural wine if you wish. Still, the underlying signals are universal: balance, depth, length, character and complexity, delivered with fewer technological crutches and more attention to soil health. There is no single legal definition of natural wine and the debate is active, including at the OIV, yet working heuristics exist. Organic or biodynamic grapes, spontaneous fermentations, restrained sulphur, and low cellar manipulation are standard features. The goal is transparency of place rather than recipe. - [Special Occasion Wines for the Modern Connoisseur](https://www.purewines.co.uk/special-occasion-wines-guide/): A milestone deserves a bottle that does more than refresh. It should anchor the memory, express a place, and carry the work of a careful grower with clarity. Special occasion wines function as cultural signals and sensory artefacts. They need internal quality, credible provenance, and a story that stands up to expert scrutiny. This guide sets a practical framework for researchers and professionals who advise clients, curate lists, or design events. It explains what makes a wine suitable for high-stakes moments, why natural wine, organic wine, and biodynamic practices have gained traction at the top end, and how to select, serve, and contextualise bottles so the experience lands with precision. - [Juicy Natural Wine Explained With Evidence](https://www.purewines.co.uk/juicy-natural-wine-explained-structure-methods/): Producers who prioritise juicy profiles often choose natural wine practices that minimise chemical inputs. Organic and biodynamic farming encourage cover crops, hedgerows and soil life. Benefits include better water infiltration, improved nutrient cycling and natural pest control. Reduced reliance on synthetic herbicides and systemic pesticides lowers risks to workers and neighbours. In the cellar, hands-off approaches often consume less energy because heavy filtration, aggressive pumping and complex heating or cooling cycles are avoided. The carbon story is nuanced. Mechanical weeding and repeated sulphur or copper sprays can require more tractor passes than a single synthetic herbicide application. Even so, biodiversity gains and reduced toxic load are clear advantages. For institutions that purchase at scale, these practices align with sustainability policies and staff safety objectives. - [Orange wine bridges ancient technique and modern taste](https://www.purewines.co.uk/orange-wine-ancient-method-modern-table/): A style once whispered about at specialist tastings now sits confidently on serious wine lists, its colours shifting from apricot to deep amber. Orange wine carries no citrus flavour. It is a fourth chromatic path in winemaking, produced from white grapes handled with the logic of a red. The result is texture, grip and savoury depth layered over the lift and acidity that define well-made whites. For researchers and professionals, the appeal is technical as much as sensory. Skin contact changes extraction, phenolic load and oxygen management, which in turn shapes ageing potential and gastronomic range. As global dining moves toward shared plates, plant-forward menus and bolder spice profiles, this style answers a practical question at the table: one bottle that can hold its own with a wide span of flavours while remaining precise, dry and balanced. The current visibility is not a fad. It is a return to a method with documented antiquity and a modern toolkit that allows careful, repeatable execution. - [Complexity and Authenticity in Natural Wine](https://www.purewines.co.uk/natural-wine-complexity-research-insight/): Natural wine's rise has forced professionals to reassess what complexity truly means in the glass. For researchers mapping the chemistry of flavour, and for practitioners attempting to capture a vineyard's voice without interference, complexity is no longer a vague compliment but a scientifically quantifiable outcome. This first part lays the groundwork: it explains how multi-dimensional depth is built, why sensory science matters, and how low-intervention methods change the trajectory of aroma, texture and longevity. By the end, you will have a data-backed framework for judging whether a wine is complex or merely loud, setting the stage for the practical tasting tools and producer case studies in Part Two. - [Gewurztraminer Origins Aromatics Identity And Natural Potential](https://www.purewines.co.uk/gewurztraminer-origins-aromatics-identity-natural/): Pronounce it with confidence and its mystique softens at once. Gewurztraminer (Geh VURTS Trah Mee Nur) is a grape whose perfume can seem to rise before the glass reaches your nose. This varietal splits opinion precisely because it refuses to be neutral. Understanding it is not a superficial exercise in exotic fruit notes. It is a narrative of mutation, migration, linguistic evolution, soil sensitivity, cellar philosophy and gastronomic versatility. Grasp those threads and the grape's intensity becomes less a blunt force and more an articulate language of spice, flower, fruit and texture. This first part maps lineage, global footprint, sensory architecture and its special affinity with low intervention craftsmanship so the curious drinker or seasoned collector can engage with greater precision. - [Chenin Blanc Recast As The Most Expressive White Grape On Earth](https://www.purewines.co.uk/chenin-blanc-defines-versatile-fine-wine/): Chenin Blanc is a shape-shifter in the glass, a white variety with a historical pedigree and a modern pulse that few grapes can match. Its identity has been forged through monastic patience, scientific curiosity, and the resolve of contemporary growers who refused to let it fade into commodity anonymity. Today it is prized for a breadth of legitimate styles that stretch from razor dry still wines through traditional method sparkling and into some of the planet's most hauntingly long lived sweet bottlings. Every iteration is anchored by one intrinsic structural gift, the naturally elevated acidity that underwrites its longevity and precision. - [Riesling reborn from noble roots to cutting edge natural expression](https://www.purewines.co.uk/riesling-heritage-quality-diversity-value/): Long before fashions rose and fell, Riesling commanded respect at princely tables and in monastic cellars because it could translate place with a clarity few varieties approach. To understand why Riesling wine now stretches from crystalline classics to experimental natural bottlings, we start in the river valleys where its reputation first crystallised. A single dated purchase in 1435 in Rüsselsheim by Count John IV of Katzenelnbogen gives us a documentary anchor, but the grape's cultural ascent was a slow accretion of decisions by monks, electors and growers who noticed how faithfully it reflected steep slopes, shifting soils and marginal climates. Its aristocratic and ecclesiastical champions systematically replaced lesser vines, so that by the 19th century the finest German Riesling fetched prices surpassing leading Bordeaux and Champagne. That trajectory matters today because it explains the still unmatched combination of adaptability, longevity, and transparent terroir expression that underpins its resurgence among sommeliers, collectors and exploratory drinkers seeking authenticity in white wine. - [Tempranillo Spain’s Noble Core](https://www.purewines.co.uk/tempranillo-wine-identity-terroir-styles/): Stand in a high plateau vineyard at first light and Tempranillo's dual nature becomes obvious: clusters already dusky and flavour ripe while the day is still cool, a grape impatient to reach readiness yet patient in the cellar. This variety is the structural backbone of Spain's most famous reds and an increasingly transparent conduit for terroir expression in contemporary low intervention cellars. Its significance is not inherited from external benchmarks. Modern genetic work has confirmed it as an indigenous crossing of Benedicto and Albillo Mayor, anchoring authenticity and refuting old romantic claims of Burgundian ancestry. Archaeological echoes, from mosaics in Ribera del Duero to millennia of cultivation along Iberian trade routes, situate Tempranillo as a cultural constant. Today it serves two intertwined narratives: the stately, time layered architecture of classic Rioja and Ribera and the bright, energetic clarity sought by natural wine pioneers. Both depend on intrinsic traits: early ripening, structural balance, and an ability to mirror site. - [Magnum Mastery The Case for the 1.5 Litre Wine Bottle](https://www.purewines.co.uk/magnum-wine-benefits-ageing-value/): Among serious wine collectors few words carry quite the same quiet authority as magnum. At its simplest, it denotes a 1.5-litre bottle, exactly double a standard 750 ml. That extra capacity typically pours 10 to 12 glasses, making it naturally suited to a proper table of guests. Yet the importance of the format is cultural, historical, technical and sensory. The Latin magnus means "great", and the vessel has long been treated accordingly: a container promising heightened longevity, shared experience, and elevated presentation rather than brute quantity. The 1.5 litre sits as the anchor point in a ladder of large formats named, with theatrical flourish, after ancient patriarchs and rulers such as Jeroboam, Methuselah and Nebuchadnezzar. These names do more than decorate order sheets. They prime expectation. By linking a bottle to figures associated with power or longevity, the trade subtly signals age worthiness and consequence before a cork is even eased free. Capacities can shift by region (a Jeroboam in Champagne is 3 litres whereas in Bordeaux the term may denote 4.5 litres) which demands precision from both buyers and sellers. Still, the magnum wine remains the most universal and practical of the grand sizes, large enough to alter ageing dynamics yet manageable for storage, transport and service without turning hospitality into awkward spectacle. - [Fortified wine merits serious attention in a modern collection](https://www.purewines.co.uk/fortified-wine-collecting-guide-benefits/): A fortified wine is a base wine whose fermentation has been interrupted or whose finished form has been strengthened through the controlled addition of neutral grape spirit, raising alcoholic strength typically into a 15 to 22 percent window and stabilising the matrix against microbial spoilage. Mid fermentation addition arrests yeast activity and locks in natural residual sugar, yielding inherently sweet expressions. Post fermentation addition preserves dryness, allowing later flavour development to arise from biological or oxidative ageing rather than sweetness. This binary choice in timing explains structural contrasts between a luscious Port and an ascetically dry Fino. Spirit quality, vineyard raw material and subsequent ageing environment then layer secondary and tertiary complexity rather than covering flaws. - [Albariño in Focus A British Perspective on Spain’s Coastal White](https://www.purewines.co.uk/albarino-wine-from-spain-to-the-uk/): In a world where wine shelves are crowded with Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc, Albariño offers something refreshingly different. This crisp white wine from the Atlantic edge of Spain has been quietly building a loyal following thanks to its expressive fruit, maritime salinity, and compelling food-pairing range. For many in the United Kingdom, it represents a clean break from tired varietals and an opportunity to explore something that feels both accessible and special. - [Why Chardonnay Defines the World’s White Wines](https://www.purewines.co.uk/chardonnay-wine-guide-global-styles/): Few white wines command the adoration, controversy, and enduring prestige of Chardonnay. Universally recognised yet infinitely nuanced, this noble grape offers something for every palate—from piercingly crisp minerality to voluptuous, oak-kissed opulence. It is a liquid storyteller, capturing the whispers of soil, climate, and craftsmanship in each glass. Whether gracing casual gatherings or the tables of the world's finest restaurants, Chardonnay's golden allure persists, adapting to shifting tastes while remaining unmistakably. - [Discovering Pinot Grigio’s Complexity, Terroir, and Natural Roots](https://www.purewines.co.uk/pinot-grigio-beyond-the-basics/): Pinot Grigio. Few wine names evoke such instant familiarity — and yet, so many misconceptions. Often pigeonholed as the crisp, easy-drinking white lining restaurant menus and supermarket shelves, its true character runs far deeper. Behind the seemingly pale façade lies a grape of noble lineage, remarkable versatility, and surprising expressiveness, capable of reflecting terroir, craftsmanship, and tradition. - [The Secret Wonders of Sauvignon Blanc That Will Surprise You](https://www.purewines.co.uk/the-secret-wonders-of-sauvignon-blanc/): Sauvignon Blanc has a fascinating past that stretches back to at least the 18th century, when it was first documented in the Loire Valley and Bordeaux regions of France. Originally from the Loire Valley and Bordeaux, this grape variety was first cultivated in France, where it played a key role in producing some of the finest white wines in the world. The name "Sauvignon" comes from the French word "sauvage", meaning wild, reflecting its natural growth patterns in the vineyards. - [Best Wines in January: Perfect Picks to Warm Your Winter Nights](https://www.purewines.co.uk/best-wines-in-january-stay-warm-this-winter/): January in the UK can feel like a month of restraint after the indulgence of the festive season.

The region's history of winemaking dates back centuries, and Beaujolais wine has held a cherished place on French tables for generations. Made predominantly from the Gamay grape, these wines have a distinct character, offering notes of red fruit, including cherry, raspberry, and strawberry, with hints of spice. - [Discover the Delightful Secrets of Pinot Grigio Wines](https://www.purewines.co.uk/discover-the-delightful-secrets-of-pinot-grigio-wines/): Pinot Grigio is a refreshing and versatile white wine that has captured the hearts of wine enthusiasts around the world.

We're excited to have you on board! - [Wine Producers](https://www.purewines.co.uk/wine-producers/) - [White Wine](https://www.purewines.co.uk/white-wine/): The colour of white wine can be between pale to bright yellow with shades of golden hues to green reflections. Many conventional white wines are fined and sterilely filtered in a process of adding substances such as albumin or bentonite into the fermented liquid, who attract and bond with small particles of grapes. The bonded particles are then removed however some experts of white wine claim that not all of the substances can be removed, and that the additives change the flavour of the wine. - [What is natural wine](https://www.purewines.co.uk/what-is-natural-wine/): WHAT IS NATURAL WINE? - [Vegan Wine](https://www.purewines.co.uk/vegan-wine/): Vegan wine is defined, like all other vegan food and drink, as being free from animal products. - [Thank you](https://www.purewines.co.uk/thank-you/): Your order has been placed. - [Sparkling Wine](https://www.purewines.co.uk/sparkling-wine/): 1. Traditional Method: This is method is also broadly also called Methode champenoise (for the sparkling wines made in the Champagne region), cremant (made in various parts of France), Spumante (literally meaning bubbly in Italian) and Espumante in Spain. Generally speaking, it entails an initial fermentation of the base wine/s which are then bottled and are put on slates to age for a minimum period of between 9-36 months depending on the region and class. This period allows the base wine to develop depth and complexity. The bubbles are created in the second fermentation stage in which the winemaker will introduce juices from a recent vintage, containing sugar, which will interact with the base wine and cause the desired second fermentation. There is no addition of sugar (dosage), additives or yeast at any stage of the fermentation. In some wines, a very small amount of sulfur will be added at the bottling stage. - [Rosé wine](https://www.purewines.co.uk/rose-wine/): Rosé wine is made all over the world from a host of different grape varieties. The colour of rosé wine has become a subject of somewhat of controversy as many leading sommeliers and wine experts are claiming that modern winemakers are looking to produce rosé wine of pale pink colour, which is more popular with consumers. With conventional wine, the producers are allowed to use colouring agents that change the appearance of the wine, sometimes with an effect on the taste of the wine itself. - [Red Wine](https://www.purewines.co.uk/red-wine/): Many people do not know that the juice that is produced from the vast majority of red grape varieties such as Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Pinot Noir, Tempranillo, Sangiovese, Malbec etc is original white/light green colour and changes after the maceration of the grape skins with the liquid. One exception is the Saperavi variety, endemic to Georgia, which is a Teinturier variety that naturally produces a red/purple juice. You can find an excellent natural example of Saperavi.  Natural red wines are produced in many countries around the world from hundreds of different types and grape varieties. Some varieties are better acclimatised to colder regions such as Bordeaux, Champagne, Gascony, Alsace, many German regions, Galicia, Georgian wines and most English wines. - [Promotions](https://www.purewines.co.uk/promotions/): There is nothing extra for you to do - By reaching the threshold in your basket the promotion will be automatically added to your purchase.

Unlike Cava or other kinds of sparkling wine, there are no set grape varieties that have to be used, meaning that in theory a Pet Nat can be made from any variety either as a single variety wine or as a blend of different grapes. Pet Nats can be sealed using a ‘mushroom cork’ as is commonly used for other kinds of sparkling wines, or a ‘crown cap’ - which is often seen on beers and ciders. Although the name for the vilification method is French a PetNat can come from anywhere in the world. - [Our Wines](https://www.purewines.co.uk/our-wines/): BROWSE WINES - [Our Wine Blog](https://www.purewines.co.uk/our-wine-blog/): Tales of Natural Wines - [Orange Wine](https://www.purewines.co.uk/orange-wine/): Orange wine, also known as skin-contact wine, has roots stretching back thousands of years to Georgia, where it was first made. In this ancient wine region, grapes were crushed and placed in large clay vessels called Q’vevri, buried underground. The juice fermented with the skins for several months, resulting in a richly coloured, amber-hued wine with complex flavours. - [Natural Wine Quality Standards](https://www.purewines.co.uk/natural-wine-quality-standards/): OUR NATURAL WINE QUALITY STANDARDS - [Mixed Cases](https://www.purewines.co.uk/mixed-cases/): MIXED CASE PROMOTIONS WITH FREE DELIVERY Each bottle in each case is chosen carefully and they are an excellent way to discover new wines - [Lost Password](https://www.purewines.co.uk/lost-password/): A link to set a new password will be sent to your email address. - [Deliveries returns](https://www.purewines.co.uk/deliveries-returns/): At pure wines we pride ourselves on excellent customer service.We know that you don’t want to wait for days your order to arrive.

Juicy and drinkable, we recommend serving slightly chilled. - [Bio’ora 2023](https://www.purewines.co.uk/product/bioora-2023/): How lovely this wine is!

Constantly exploring and experimenting, he studies plants that can be used to create healthy, natural fertilisers. His Wines are sourced from two vineyard plots: "Les Pollands" - 0.34 ha currently in use, planted in 1975  "La Vacherotte" - 0.04 ha currently in use, planted in 2004 The grapes are hand-harvested with meticulous sorting both in the vineyard and before vatting. Whole clusters undergo fermentation in concrete vat and French oak barrels. The wine is aged for 10 months in barrels and moved by gravity, with no pumping. It is bottled unfined and unfiltered. The palate is round, supple, and ripe, with a charming purity that sets it apart from more conventional Burgundy wines—a real delight. - [Bourgogne Aligoté 2022](https://www.purewines.co.uk/product/bourgogne-aligote-2022/): Nicholas Raspiller is a young winemaker in Burgundy working organically and intervention with some very interesting plots around some (very!) sought after locations, including a Burgundy Grand Cru. The wines are both pure and classic in profile. This aligote is vibrant and refreshing. The nose reveals crisp white fruit aromas, subtle lemon notes, and delicate floral nuances. On the palate, it offers a refined mineral edge, a pleasing texture, and a lingering saline finish. - [Les Gaudrettes 2020](https://www.purewines.co.uk/product/les-gaudrettes-2020/): The 2020 Les Gaudrettes had spent an additional 12 months in barrel which gives more depth and roundness. Ample power driven from the old vines that make this wine along and finesse and freshness. Ageing these Bornard Chardonnays is never a bad idea, however we love it the way it now - beautiful and full of life. Serve chilled and open 10-20 minutes before drinking. - [Ploussard Point Barre 2022](https://www.purewines.co.uk/product/ploussard-point-barre-2020/): Tony Bornard's 2020 Ploussard 'Point Barre' is a light, translucent red from Jura, France. Crafted from the indigenous Ploussard grape, it offers aromas of red currants, citrus, and saddle leather, with a hint of cinnamon. With a 12% ABV, this natural wine is unfiltered, unfined, and contains no added sulphites, embodying a pure expression of its terroir. 1 Bottle per customer. Cellaring for 2+ years recommended. - [GUÉRILLEROS](https://www.purewines.co.uk/product/guerilleros/): Some natural wine importers are suggesting a recent phenomenon in red wine preferences called "poulsardification", named after the Poulsard grape variety from the Jura region that produces light red wines, often drunk chilled. What makes these lights reds so special for many is it that they cannot be mistaken for a rosé. Rosé wines are different. We passionately love our light reds to defiantly feel like a red and not a rosé, a fine line to tread. This is exactly the case with the bottle front of you; dreamily delicious blending of Syrah, Lledoner Pelut AKA Grenache and Muscat that gives tons of bramble fruit combined with accurate bit of freshness. Its bursting with purity and life and has a certain juicy volume on the palate that makes feel that it is definitely a light red and not a rosé. Pure Pleasure here! service chilled. - [Clovallon Pinot Noir 2023](https://www.purewines.co.uk/product/clovallon-pinot-noir-2023/): If you liked the Clovallon Pinot Noir 2017, you'll absolutely love the 2021. Its better. In a sentence, its all that a good quality Burgundy red of should aspire to; Pinot Noir essential delicacy, freshness & lightness yet with a focused, firm backbone of flavour. If you are able to allow the wine to aerate for 20-25 minutes in order for a slight reduction to dissipate, it will reward you by showing itself in its full glory. Its quite a flexible wine too, chill it a bit to enjoy the acidity/freshness come to the fore, or serve it at room temperature to draw a denser material and slightly jammier notes. Dont hesitate to serve out of a decanter/carafe. Superb value for money! - [Vin Rouge 2023](https://www.purewines.co.uk/product/vin-rouge-2023/): A Gamay inspired by the wines that were made and drank by the winemaker's (Puzelat brothers) ancestors; Made to be drunk young - light, fruity, pure and very expressive. A popular wine that is typically only available for a short period of time; this year's Vin Rouge is extra charming in our eyes as the palate feels juicier with a thin layer of welcomed complexity. 12.5% The whole is balanced and dangerously drinkable. The finish is tasty, finely chewed, with fruit (cherry) and pepper gaining intensity, with persistence on the stone and salty notes. Serve chilled. - [Le Clos De Lys (Morgon) 2023](https://www.purewines.co.uk/product/le-clos-de-lys-morgon-2023/): Jean-Claude Chanudet who currently runs this Domaine was amongst a small group of winemakers (Jules Chauvet, Guy Breton and Charly Thevenet) that decided to produce natural wines in times when the word organic would have pompous wine connoisseurs sneering with laughter. For this reason, Jean-Claude refuses to certify his wine organically, although the vineyards are cultivated strictly according to organic methods, saying that conventional wines should declare their wines "produced with chemicals". And the wine itself? classic Morgon; light, refreshing and breaming with dark fruit, a layer of complexity and acidity the stretches the pallet without making it a heavy sip. Somewhat tight tannins in this 2017 "baby", which will loosen with time. 10 years of ageing potential. - [Cuvee Des Galets](https://www.purewines.co.uk/product/cuvee-des-galets/): Probably because it is such fantastic value; this red wine seems to have made a name for itself as a solid, affordable table red. This vintage is made from traditional Rhone varieties with 50% Grenache blended with Syrah (Shiraz), Carignan, Mourvedre and Cinsault. Soft tannins, lovely dark fruit on the nose and excellent drinkability will keep a meal or house party merry. - [Allez goûtons Blanc](https://www.purewines.co.uk/product/allez-goutons-blanc/): Julien Altaber and Carole Schwab (you might have heard of Julien in their his domaine sextant) took over from the legendary Dominique Derain after his retirement and are doing a very good job of producing the same quality wines that Derain lovers are used to. Lively and pure, measured acidity running tightly alongside the fruit expression to make a joyful, super easy-drinking cuvee. - [Cuvée Madelon](https://www.purewines.co.uk/product/madelon/): A wild and juicy combination of Gamay from Morgon and local Trousseau, vinified in semi carbonic maceration at the domaine in Jura. And a successful combination it is; powerful, direct fruity palate with depth and softness to balance. Rough around the edges yet charming with prime drinkability at 11.5%. Can be served chilled. - [Sweety Léony](https://www.purewines.co.uk/product/sweety-leony/): 100% Chardonnay made as an orange wine through skin contact of twelve days. A unique, gourmet wine that is packed with tons of stone fruit flavour with a faint touch of oxidation.  The colour is between bright molten gold with slight pink shades. Aromas of candied fruits, orange creme brulee and sweet spices. On the palate, a sensual touch gradually gaining volume and depth until it reaches a generous and complex apex after about 30 minutes of being open. Notes of dried apricot with candied orange and honey with a persistence on salted butter caramel. A beautiful orange wine with fantastic value for money. We recommend chilling for about 20-30 minutes in the fridge, - [Feu Follet](https://www.purewines.co.uk/product/feu-follet/): There are so many good things going for this wonderful bottle of orange wine. Let's start with the most obvious, it's utterly delicious; dry and very well balanced with a host of infatuating aromas such as ripe exotic fruit, rose, apricot, orange blossom and acacia honey that will draw you in as if by the spell. The palate is wide, fresh and crunchy with rose, orange blossom and apricot, complemented by tangerine, ginger and spices. It achieves a very unique feat by being both complex and approachable/accessible at the same time, which means that it will delight Orange wine connoisseurs and novices alike. All that power and energy funnelled through 13.0% make it dangerously drinkable. We recommend serving chilled but not very cold (30 minutes in the fridge). Excellent pairing with coconut-based mild currys. - [Le Petit Beurot Nature 2023](https://www.purewines.co.uk/product/le-petit-beurot-nature-2023/): Pinot Gris is responsible for somewhat confusing "orange wines" for the simple reason that they all range between vermilion rosé-like. The name Orange Wine is given to wines made from white grape varieties that have been macerated on their skins during the alcoholic fermentation, which shed darker colour and accentuated characteristics. And therefore, Pinot Gris that has a pink skin makes an orange wine looking like a rosé. Now, to cut a long story short, its an absolute delight. One the nicest Pinot Gris macerations that we know - gentle on the nose and on the palate yet with focused, concentrated fruit. Acidity in just the right measure makes it extremely drinkable and also interesting. Superb value for money. Excellent pair to light asian cuisine but also sushi (no wasabi) and roasted pork/poultry dishes. We recommend serving chilled but not too cold and opening 5-10 minutes before drinking. - [Rielsing Nature 2020](https://www.purewines.co.uk/product/rielsing-nature-2019/): The Rielsing Nature 2015 wine has a pale golden colour. A savoury Riesling fragrance, sublimely mineral, refreshing and with stunning purity. Full, smooth, extremely sophisticated on the palate, dry balance, salty notes on the end, and  delicate soft finish. Benchmark wine that could age another few year with grace. - [Pétillant Naturel](https://www.purewines.co.uk/product/petillant-naturel/): Lovely PetNat (naturally sparking wine) that offers the expected freshness and purity yet unlike some other PetNat manages to remain clean, approachable and interesting. Zesty and dry with notes of ever so lightly candied preserved lemon. Think dry lemon sorbet. Serve chilled and open 10 minutes before serving (un-cork, return to the fridge and take out 10 minutes later) - [Premno White 2022](https://www.purewines.co.uk/product/premno-white-2022/): Experience the magic of Premno White 2020, an enchanting white wine that transports you to the vineyards of Goumenissa, Greece. This extraordinary blend of Assyrtiko, Roditis, Malagousia, and Chardonnay showcases the rich diversity of Greek winemaking. With its vibrant golden color and intriguing aromas, Premno White 2020 captivates the senses from the first pour. The palate is greeted with a symphony of flavors, where the zesty citrus notes of Assyrtiko dance harmoniously with the delicate floral hints of Roditis and Malagousia, while the Chardonnay adds a touch of elegance.

It's also bringing us some of the highest value wines around with absolute superb quality and purity, where prices (and hype) hasn't caught up yet. Bon Papa is exactly that; it's everything you'd hope from a fruity, round white wine. The biggest attraction with this bottle is its "digestibility", it seems to go down way too easy. We recommend serving chilled along with charcuterie and cheese. - [Trasmontes Blanco](https://www.purewines.co.uk/product/trasmontes-blanco/): Phenomenally priced natural white wine made from the ultra-rare grape variety, Verdejo Serrano. Very approachable with floral aromas that lead to a brightly structured sip; focused and concentrated served on a toned, plump material. We recommend serving chilled (8-10c) and opening 10-15 minutes before drinking. - [Antidote](https://www.purewines.co.uk/product/antidote/): Discover ANTIDOTE - VDF (From Bourgueil), an exquisite gem hailing from the picturesque vineyards of the Loire Valley in France. Crafted with utmost care and dedication, this exceptional wine embodies the true essence of natural winemaking. Vibrant, light ruby hue, on the nose expressive aromas of ripe red berries with subtle floral undertones. On the palate, succulent cherries, blackcurrants and a touch of spice elegantly intertwine, creating a medley that is both lively and refreshing. A touch of earthiness provides a delightful complexity. - [Gift Voucher](https://www.purewines.co.uk/product/gift-voucher/): Pure Wine gift vouchers can be used to purchase natural wines in our online store.

Serve chilled along with charcuterie for max enjoyment. - [La Cherie Orange](https://www.purewines.co.uk/product/la-cherie-orange/): The balance here is incredible, rare even.. An absolutely sublime orange wine that we think towers above any white wine that you could achieve with the same grapes. Alsace and its aromatic varieties is solidifying itself as an orange wine empire; this wine is a prime example. Absolutely delicious! - [Vales Das Lebres](https://www.purewines.co.uk/product/vales-das-lebres/): Bright, juicy, and wonderfully light on its feet, Vales das Lebres from Tejo, Portugal is a low-alcohol red that doesn’t skimp on flavour. Made from Castelão grapes with short maceration, it delivers vibrant red fruit, fresh acidity, and easy charm in every sip. Perfect served slightly chilled, this is a bottle made for relaxed afternoons, warm evenings, and anyone who loves wine with maximum drinkability and minimal fuss. - [Casal Da Calha](https://www.purewines.co.uk/product/casal-da-calha/): Fresh, fruity, and full of charm, Casal da Calha is a crisp Portuguese white from Tejo that showcases the region’s easygoing drinkability. With bright citrus, stone fruit notes, and a subtle mineral edge, it’s the kind of wine that feels effortless yet satisfying. Serve well chilled, especially alongside fried seafood or light dishes—it’s a natural match. This bottle is a go-to for anyone who enjoys a clean, vibrant white without overthinking it. - [Sampagnino Sulle Bucce](https://www.purewines.co.uk/product/sampagnino-sulle-bucce/): Made from the Ancient DOC Monterosso Blend Varieties: Malvasia di Candia Aromatica, Muscat, Trebbiano Romagnolo, Ortrugo, Bervedin, Sauvignon Blanc and Bianchetto di Bacedasco. Some of these varieties exist solely in Leo's few parcels in Bacedasco. In his own words: “It is the typical and oldest vineyards of my valley. In the past only this was cultivated, but it gave way to mass produced international varieties. I continue to produce my wines with these vines, avoiding that they were uprooted. Grapes that are now very rare but which are part of the ancient Monterosso blend” Vinification: Short maceration on the skins, separation of the grapes from the stalk and gentle pressing , separation of the juice from the skins in a low-pressure pneumatic press, static decantation of the must; cold fermentation for 15-20 days in steel tanks at a controlled temperature followed by Ancestral Method and bottling takes place at the end of the following winter. Natural sparkling wine on the lees, as it once was; the maceration gives greater depth and a pleasantly intense orange colour. The taste is persistent with tropical fruit notes good freshness coming from very fine, tiny bubbles.  We recommend serving cold. - [Cuordivigna Orange (Gift)](https://www.purewines.co.uk/product/cuordivigna-orange-gift/): Malvasia is the queen of Italian aromatic varieties and the ruler of all orange wines from the Emilia-Romagna. Cuordivigna 2023 has aromas of ripe peach, pineapple and glazed citrus peel. The palate starts with all that fruitiness and evolves with secondary herbaceous notes and interesting mineral complexity. The finish is long and consistent with delicate touches of spice and souk aromatics such as cardamom, turmeric and ylang ylang tea. Great grip and lots of pulling power from a relatively low 12.5%. A rare wine that would pair with a host of meals such as fish/seafood and south-eastern Asian cuisine. This variety is the flagship of maceration wine made by prestige natural wineries in Emilia Romagna such as La Stoppa, Denavolo, Casé, Podere Pradarolo and others. The work in the vineyard is organic and the wine is carefully made in very low intervention. Leo, the man behind the Bulli winery is a class act producing lively, classy wines.   - [Poulsard Sous Le Monceau 2022](https://www.purewines.co.uk/product/poulsard-sous-le-monceau-2022/): What do you want your poulsard wine to "do"? for us the answer is quite a lot.. mainly because we're so fascinated by this variety and how it manages to show quite a few facets / profiles. The magic though, to us, is in how it manages to be really juicy (think juicy steak/mushroom..) and at the same time be earthy and so terrior driven. The last thing we want it to have a very light cherry red colour with reflections bordering with pink but not quite pink.. This bottle by Domaine Buronfosse very successfully achieves the first 2 fits and the colour is doesnt quite have that pinkish hue yet its still very nice and light. Overall a beautiful and utterly delicious Poulsard that goes down dangerously quick. Serve slightly chilled (20 minutes in the fridge) - [Nerello Mascalese 2019](https://www.purewines.co.uk/product/nerello-mascalese-2019/): Nerello Mascalese is one of Sicily’s finest indigenous grapes, best known for its role in the renowned wines of Mount Etna. Naturally high in tannins and pale in colour, Nerello Mascalese takes on a softer, more approachable style when grown on the island's lower elevation sandy soils, such as those found in the southwest. In this Due Terre bottling, the grape presents a unique character reminiscent of a light, earthy Rhône Syrah. The wine is fresh and vibrant, with approachable tannins and a delightful profile of bright, tart red fruits, sour cherries, and dark plums. The finish is subtle and savoury, with a hint of wet earth that adds depth to the flavour. We recommend having it lightly chilled.   - [Nero D’Avola 2021](https://www.purewines.co.uk/product/nero-davola-2021/): Nero d’Avola is widely regarded as Sicily's most important indigenous red grape, and for good reason. This versatile variety thrives across the island, though it is often overshadowed by heavy oak aging and over-extraction. At Due Terre, the aim is to showcase the true character of this remarkable grape. The vines grow at the base of Monte Bonifato, at an elevation of 350m above sea level, in clay-rich soils that are low in nutrients — creating the ideal conditions for producing a vibrant, expressive red wine. The winemaking process is kept deliberately simple to allow the grape’s natural qualities to shine. The grapes are harvested by hand in mid-September, then macerated (cold-soaked) for 24 hours to preserve their freshness and fruit intensity. The main fermentation takes place at a cool 16°C for 10 days, ensuring a delicate extraction of flavour. The wine is then aged for 8 months in concrete tanks to maintain its purity and freshness. A wide and generous wine, never heavy, that pairs well with a wide variety of dishes and also on its own as an evening sipping wine. We recommend serving slightly chilled (5-10 minutes in the fridge) - [Nero D’Avola 2021](https://www.purewines.co.uk/product/nero-davola-2021-2/): Nero d’Avola is widely regarded as Sicily's most important indigenous red grape, and for good reason.

A natural cross between Zibibbo and Cataratto Bianco Lucido, Grillo was originally cultivated to produce high-quality Marsala wines. However, it has since found a place as a refreshing dry still white, loved for its crisp, fruit-forward style. Sicily is home to the largest number of organic vineyards in Italy, and we’ve chosen the most aromatic expression of Grillo from a vineyard perched 400m above sea level. The vines are planted in lean marine clay soils, at the foot of Monte Bonifato, where the climate provides the perfect balance of warmth and coolness to produce the vibrant, drinkable style we adore. The winemaking process is deliberately simple to highlight the purity of the fruit. The grapes are hand-harvested in early September, then cold-macerated for 24 hours to extract maximum aromatics. After gently pressing, the juice undergoes a cold fermentation at 13°C for 15 days, before being aged for 6 months in concrete tanks, allowing the wine to develop its crisp, clean profile. - [Chardonnay Pure 2022](https://www.purewines.co.uk/product/chardonnay-pure-2022/): A pure Chardonnay, better known in Germany is Morillon, who is a pure drinking pleasure. Soft, refreshing and delicious notes of granny smith and baked, buttered key lime pie. The palate crystalline pure; a bottle that would present itself empty oh-so quickly. Weingut Seckinger in the Pfalz is a great new import of Pure Wines, and we have managed to get a small allocation of a few cases of this Chardonnay, it will not stay available for long. Serve chilled. - [Pinot Noir “Rosa” 2022](https://www.purewines.co.uk/product/pinot-noir-rosa-2022/): A Pinot Noir *exactly* the way we love it; pale cherry red in the glass, a nose of mouthwatering sour cherry and wild strawberry aromas leading to a palate that is voluminous, fresh, earthy, focused and complex. Jura Pinot Noir and some light burgundy iterations immediately spring to mind. This beauty is limited in stock. - [Savagnin Pure 2023](https://www.purewines.co.uk/product/savagnin-pure-2023/): Yes a German Savagnin from Weingut's Seckinger's on Savagnin plantation in the Pfalz! It has everything you'd expect from a Jura iteration and with its own uniqueness. Tropical fruit with a touch of bruised apple on the attack followed by beautiful minerality and with a consistent, long finish dominated by salty-ness with a minor touch of nuttiness and spice. The whole is refreshing and very well balanced. Drink chilled. A very small allocation of a few cases had made it into the UK.
