The Power of Nature in Wine.
I believe the big part of the expression of the terroir is the microbiome in your vineyard and vinery. This is why all my wines are made the same way as my dad's and my grandfather's wines were done before on the old continent.
Natural fermentation is utilizing the native yeasts, rather than pitching technologically manipulated yeast.
