VINEYARD HEALTH
Cultivation of the wine grapes. Almost all wines at NOTWASTED implement organic, biodynamic or regenerative vineyard practices.
-
SKIN CONTACT
The skins of the grapes can form part of the fermentation process. Unlike conventional white wine, natural winemakers will often leave skins of the grapes for part (or all) of the fermentation, the result is a cloudy and tannin filled wine.
-
FILTERING
The filtering of the wine to remove particles post fermentation. Filtering particles may be aesthetically pleasing, but is often viewed as ‘unnatural’ and not filtering is said to create a more unique wine.
-
FINING
Fining wines uses an agent (often gelatin or bentonite) to attract miniscule solids and join them together. Again this is seen as ‘unnatural’.
-
SULPHUR
The amount of sulfur added to the wine. The affect of suplphites in wine on the human body is one of the most debated and researched parts of the winemaking process. Conventional wines often present up to 300mg per litre of wine.
-
YEAST
The type of yeast used. Imported or wild. Yeast is crucial to break down grape sugars into alcohol. Wild yeast, relies on it naturally occuring as part of the fruit harvested. Although harder to execute, it’s often part of a natural winemaker’s process.

About the maker
Having started out by Pete Gillespie & Jos Ruffell, smaller than a micro-brewery, Garage Project has evolved into an effervescent beer (and now wine) brand that delivers out of the box style style products from their outpost in New Zealand.
As the name would suggest, the company was born out of a car workshop / derelict petrol station in Wellington, New Zealand. Since then Garage Project has continued to grow and grow, with multiple sites in Wellington and collaboration brews with some pretty iconic craft brewers in the U.S. Garage Project Crushed is a joint effort between Alex Craighead from Kindeli Wine and the existing crew, with fruit bought from Nelson and Martinborough to make a few experimental wine concoctions.
