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
Romain and brother Jean-Guillaume are producing some of France's best value natural wines out of Burgundy.
Romain handles the winemaking with experience in Australia, Lebanon and notably with Philippe Pacalet and his brother handles the operations side of things. After taking over from their parents, they have created two new labels, with Chapuis et Chapuis being the most experimental, less traditional route for the brothers. Romain is using grapes from his family vineyards and also purchases from other parts of France. Romain prefers not to macerate the reds for too long and everything is whole bunch pressed, with only old barrels used for ageing and no additions at all. The Chapuis et Chapuis wines are made in minuscule quantities and are very hard to find, even in France. These new released have been resting in Australia since July, zero sulphur, clean, stable and of very high quality.
