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
Roberto is another young and professionally trained winemaker who, like others in Chile, decided to make a permanent move down south to make exciting wines from Chile’s endemic varietals and from incredibly old rootstock.
Aside from running his own vineyards in Bio Bio, Roberto works with a handful of small growers in Itata, working closely with them in the transition to organic agriculture and paying them high prices which allow them to keep growing. The key to his success has been in producing wine made from 200-year-grapes located at the southern end of the Bio Bio riverbank. País vines are an integral part of history, culture, tradition and character of Chilean terroir.
