VINEYARD HEALTH
Cultivation of the wine grapes. Almost all wines at NOTWASTED implement organic or biodynamic 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
Based in the Premier Cru village of Villers Allerand, Timothée Stroebel works with only 3.5 ha of biodynamic farmed vineyards, choosing to make 12,000 bottles a year rather than sell off the beautiful fruit.
The Stroebel vineyard is one of the best locations for Brut Nature in Champagne. The fruit shows ripeness, elegance and precision. Timothée makes Champagne in a minimal intervention manner, using no additives and natural malolactic or alcoholic fermentation. The wines are never cold stabilised and no dosage. The vines were planted in the 60's, consisting of Pinot Meunier, Pinot Noir and Chardonnay.
