When you find a good bottle it’s an eye opening experience. Some are so radical you may even find pieces of grape floating in the bottle.
Sometimes though, natural wine can have the following flaws: mousiness and volatile acidity. When you experience those attributes it’ll definitely leave a bad taste in your mouth!
Natural wines can range vastly in price from $20 to upwards of $500 per bottle.
If you have an open mind and like trying new things give natural wine a go.
I’d love to hear what you think.
