What Does Clean Wine Mean? A Guide to Minimal-Intervention Wine

What Does Clean Wine Mean? A Guide to Minimal-Intervention Wine

When we say ‘clean wine,’ we are talking about minimal-intervention in the vineyard and the winery and making wines that let the grape, the place, and the growers and winemakers speak for themselves.

Clean wine is not a legal or regulated term. You won’t find it defined by the government or written into wine law. We are talking about wine made with minimal intervention, thoughtful farming, fewer additives, less manipulation, and more transparency.

Wine that reflects the soil, the season, and the region — just like food does. Clean wine is less manipulation, more honesty, and wine that tastes and feels good to drink.

Instead of engineering wine to taste exactly the same every year, our wines reflect the grape, the soil, the season, and the place they come from.

To us, clean wine looks like:
- Less manipulation
- More honesty
- Wines that taste good and feel good to drink

It's about intention.
