*More on Natural wines

 

What are Natural Wines: In simple words, these are wines produced from organic or biodynamic grapes without additives, and with emphasis on the ethics of the producer.

 

Which is the taste of Natural Wines: In white wines, the color is often lemon to gold with aromas that resemble nuts, honey, quince, and orange peel. The mouth is distinguished for tension, freshness and nerve, often with a sense of minerality. There is often a phenolic grip in whites. Red wines are distinguished for earthy mature aromas and deliver great complexity.

 

How to pair Natural Wines: Their food pairings are some of their very strong points, as the whites match both fish and meat. Try them with intense and mature cheeses, appetizers that traditionally match Retsina, but also main dishes based on pork or lamb. It is also a great combination with various ethnic dishes, such as curry chicken and other spicy flavors.
