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
Born into a winemaking family, Owen Latta finished his first vintage at the ripe old age of 14.
Latta Vino is the brain child of 34 year old Owen Latta. Making his first vintage at 14 Owen didn't want to introduce any additions to his own vintage. This has stuck with Owen in years passing. Latta Vino is Owen's second label, behind the family Eastern Peake. All the fruit remains sustainably grown and with absolutely no additions. His more playful wines are produced with grapes from vineyards run by old family friends and relatives in the surrounding area. In 2018, Owen Latta won Young Winemaker of the Year. This is a Notwasted absolute favourite.
