frequently asked questions
-
Natural wine, also referred to as minimal‑intervention or low‑intervention wine is crafted with minimal human interference both in the vineyard and the cellar. Grapes are typically grown using organic or biodynamic methods, harvested by hand, fermented with native yeasts, and bottled with little to no added sulfites.

Organic wine focuses on sustainable grape growing, no synthetic pesticides, herbicides, or fertilizers, certified to standards such as USDA. Natural wine takes it further by applying those vineyard principles in the cellar: wild fermentation, minimal additives, and often leaving the wine unfiltered and unrefined.

Oregon vineyards particularly in the cool, maritime Willamette Valley excel in elegant Pinot Noir and other delicate varieties. Washington State vineyards, with warmer climates, often produce riper styles. Limited Addition bridges these terroirs by sourcing from both regions, always using minimal intervention to showcase their distinct character.
